C1S Group to construct CarbonLite’s Dallas recycling plant
<![CDATA[

Plastic recycling company CarbonLite, with corporate offices in Los Angeles and a manufacturing facility in Riverside, California, has hired C1S Group, Dallas, as the primary contractor for the construction of its new north Texas recycling facility.

C1S Group, a full-service professional engineering and construction firm that specializes in the design and installation of projects at existing facilities, says it has begun the process to convert the facility on Mountain Creek Parkway in southwest Dallas into a recycling center.

To prepare the facility for CarbonLite’s recycling operations, C1S is providing new electrical services, adding storage silos and increasing the height on a 5,500-square-foot section of the 230,000-square-foot building. C1S says it expects construction to be completed by early summer 2017.

CarbonLite, one of the world’s largest producers of food-grade postconsumer recycled plastic, will use the building to manufacture new polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin flakes and pellets from old plastic bottles. At its similar California bottle-to-bottle recycling plant, CarbonLite processes more than 2 billion postconsumer plastic bottles annually.

“Although this is a newly constructed building, the as-built facility couldn’t fully support CarbonLite’s processes,” says Matt Strong, PE, LEED AP and president of C1S Group. “Fortunately, at C1S we have expertise working in manufacturing and industrial facilities, with a specialty of transforming existing buildings to meet complex owner needs. Once the construction is concluded, this facility will be completely equipped to fulfill CarbonLite’s mission of preserving resources and reducing the carbon footprint from PET bottle production.”
