PreZero International
German recycling firm PreZero is buying California film and bag maker Roplast. Robots are used for separating PET trays, HDPE packaging and drink cartons at a recycling plant it operates in Belgium.
Recycler PreZero US Inc. is buying California-based film and bag maker Roplast Industries Inc., an acquisition it said will help it supply recycled-content packaging and vertically integrate into product manufacturing.
The March 1 announcement from Los Angeles-based PreZero comes after the company said in 2020 it was spending $100 million to build or upgrade recycling facilities in Jurupa Valley, Calif., and Westminster, S.C.
