Former Myplas film recycling site to reopen with new owner.

The former Myplas film recycling facility in Rogers, Minnesota, is reopening under new ownership. GDB International Inc., a company that operates plastic recycling facilities in four other states, is taking over the site. The facility, which initially closed after just weeks of operation, is reopening with the support of multiple stakeholders. GDB plans to create a world-class plastics recycling facility that delivers sustainable solutions for businesses and communities in the region. The revamped operations have attracted investments from companies like General Mills Inc. and Schwan's Co. The original Myplas project aimed to bring together multiple stakeholders to tackle the challenge of recycling plastic film, with only a small percentage currently being recycled. GDB has made significant investments to upgrade the facility and its operations, incorporating cutting-edge technologies to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
