Blue Polymers

A venture of Republic Services and Ravago, called Blue Polymers, is building a $95 million, 165,000-square-foot recycling center in Buckeye Industrial Park, Arizona. The plant will process 75 million pounds of materials per year and create about 60 jobs, with operations expected to begin in the second half of 2025.

Republic Services and Ravago announced the creation of Blue Polymers, LLC, a partnership to develop a network of facilities producing 100% post-consumer recycled plastics. Four facilities are planned to open over four years starting late 2024, with combined capacity of 300 million pounds per year.
