Responsibly Diverted From Landfills
Solving Plastic Pollution
At our Akron Inficycling facility, we convert discarded plastics back into their original components to produce new plastics and other valuable products. Since the facility’s opening in 2020, our continuously-fed process has Inficycled millions of pounds of plastics, diverting them from landfills and the environment and preserving our natural resources.

Alterra is a proud sponsor of our local RubberDucks! You can help renew hard-to-recycle plastics in Akron the next time you’re in the RubberDucks stadium by Inficycling™ things that we normally throw away. Simply bring your plastic items — cutlery, plates, cups, bottle caps, straws, chip bags, and candy wrappers, to name a few — from the stadium concessions to Guest Services or the Inficycle booth in the concourse and you’ll have a chance to win some cool prizes.
Rep. Sykes Tours Our Facility
During the tour, we discussed the importance of reducing pollution and plastic waste and building a sustainable economy.
“Join us in disrupting the traditional thinking that hard-to-recycle plastics should be discarded and helping people see that plastics are valuable and designed to become new again. Let’s make recycling part of our daily routine!”
