New Bedford, MA
Proven Technology for Cutting Edge Innovation
New Bedford, MA is now the site of our New England facility. In 2009, Parallel Products completed the move from the Taunton, MA facility to the new location in New Bedford. This move was necessary to accommodate significant volume growth and the construction of two new state-of-the-art processing lines.
New Bedford now employs the industry’s best available technologies for de-bale, optic color-sort and grinding processes. These facility and equipment improvements had a monumental impact as processing capacity was increased from ~10 million pounds per year to over 100 million pounds per year.
Last year, Parallel Products took on the challenge of increasing the inherently low value of mixed-color rPET shred. To achieve this daunting task, Parallel designed, installed and deployed the nation’s largest array of rPET-applied optic sorting equipment. This array is capable of separating mixed-color rPET flake material into three distinct and higher quality streams.
Process and equipment improvements were also made to the facility's full-goods beverage destruction and recycling operations. All new equipment has increased operating effeciency and the quality of residual commodity products.
“ We are very proud of the technological leaps we have achieved this year. It creates great value for our customers and helps them realize their Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Goals. ”
