PTS is a thermoplastics resin processor and compounder that strives to bring new value to the post-industrial and post-consumer plastics recycling industry.

PTS works with plastic industry individuals to transform their throwaway scrap plastic into valuable raw material. PTS has a proven track record of providing long-term solutions in automotive, home care, and lawn care product lines. With a fully equipped lab and ISO 9001:2008 certified processes, they go through exhaustive raw material and product testing to ensure product consistency. By processing domestically, PTS keeps jobs in the U.S. rather than exporting scrap overseas. They are keeping America “green” by recycling, reducing plastic cast-offs, and repurposing plastics. It began with two employees and has grown to more than 40 valued employees. Since the inception, on an average, revenue growth has been at 11 percent.
