Cyclyx International, a consortium-based, post-use plastic company, announced that it has been joined by waste management solutions provider CheckSammy.
As the newest member of the Cyclyx Consortium, CheckSammy will be eligible to utilise Cyclyx's ability to find new recycling pathways and options for existing hard-to-recycle plastics.
This will ensure that plastic waste remains out of landfills while contributing to a circular economy system.
The new effort will also allow CheckSammy’s clients to meet their own sustainability goals, backed by the company's extensive data capture to support environmental, social, and governance reporting.
CheckSammy co-founder and CEO Sam Scoten said: “We are excited to become a member of Cyclyx Consortium and cannot wait to bring CheckSammy's data-backed sustainability solutions to fellow Consortium members.
“We pride ourselves on not only being experts in the planning of projects that make the most sense for our clients, but also being `boots-on-the-ground' in the proper execution of those projects.”
CheckSammy has a base of more than 125,000 clients across North America. The company seeks environmentally and fiscally sustainable methods to handle waste materials such as post-consumer plastic.
At present, CheckSammy’s post-consumer plastics services account for nearly 45% of all the sustainability services it offers.
CheckSammy’s solution-based approach also aligns well with Cyclyx's 10to90, a mission brand for increasing the recyclability of plastic from 10% to 90% through various efforts, including all-plastic collection, community engagement, and landfill-diversion programmes.
Cyclyx Member Engagement vice-president Ron Sherga said: “The similarities in our intrinsic values and approaches to facilitating sustainable, circular solutions is what make CheckSammy such a good fit for our Consortium, as well as a possible future collaborator for our 10to90 programmes.
“Both CheckSammy and Cyclyx agree that the best way to optimise the recyclability of post-use plastic is by making resources and programmes simple to understand and accessible. As a result, we can keep more post-use material out of the landfill.”
