Growing business with better recycling solutions​

James’ Neighborhood Recycling Service helps Portland residents throw away less and recycle more by providing a weekly pickup service for materials not accepted in regular curbside pick-up.

Diagnosed with Asperger’s at age four, 18-year old James started this recycling company to fuel his passion for protecting the environment. He’s a remarkable young man and his service echoes our mission to improve the planet through innovative solutions and sustainable business practices.

Unfortunately, legislative changes meant it was no longer practical for his business to exist.

James came to us looking for a way to keep his mission alive and his business running. Our experts helped his team get dialed in on the sorting process, which ultimately opened up a whole new avenue for higher-volume materials.

With our help, this local company is thriving, and fulfilling James’ mission of bettering the planet, one bucket at a time.

Improving products with innovative technology

Recycled doesn’t mean inferior quality--with the right technology and strategy.

That was the case with a client in the building and construction industry who gave us the task of developing a recycled material to replace their high cost virgin, high-impact polypropylene, a material normally produced by industry giants.

Besides developing a ‘no break’ product engineered to maintain high impact resistance, even at temperatures below freezing (-30C), the client also wanted the versatility to mold in multiple colors—typical recycling processes only produce black materials.

Success required a whole new set of processes. We invested in custom technology,and put on our lab goggles, running a series of tests to compare the properties of virgin materials and various recycled materials. We then developed a unique formula based on raw material sources.

The result? A superior product, for less cost that can also be molded in color.
