Louisville, Kentucky

Our Louisville facility is the largest of our four recycling centers. Sitting on twenty-nine acres of what is known as “old distillery row”, Parallel Products resurrected an abandoned bourbon distillery to design and build a diverse recycling facility with unchallenged recycling capacity for the Beverage, Health & Beauty and Industrial Alcohol industries.

Utilizing the industry’s best applied technologies, wastes from these industries are processed to maximize the recovery and reuse of recyclable materials. Each year, Louisville receives and processes over 7 million cases of distressed alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, approximately 20,000 tons of health and beauty items and greater than 8 million gallons of bulk liquids. In addition to standard receipts, this facility has remarkable surge capacity. Natural disasters and major destruction projects are easily handled eliminating the associated burden of unsaleable products for our customers.

Here, packaging materials are recycled to their base commodity form and provided to end-users and producers of recycled content packaging and other products. Liquid materials from all sources are converted via fermentation and distillation, or in some cases, just distillation into fuel and industrial grade ethanol.

The Kentucky facility is certified by the Tax & Trade Bureau as a bonded Distilled Spirits Plant and Wine Cellar. (T.T.B. # DSP-KY-420/B.W.C-KY–25). This means that applicable shipments may be received “IN Bond”, saving customers significant amounts of prepaid tax dollars.
