Cyclyx International, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, a consortium-based postuse plastic innovation company has welcomed CheckSammy as its newest member.

The Dallas-based materials management solutions provider works with more than 125,000 clients throughout North America and uses its network of approximately 25,000 recycling facilities and 5,000 haulers to provide same-day on-demand service.

As a member of the consortium, Cyclyx says CheckSammy will be able to leverage the organization’s resources for recycling plastics, find new recycling pathways and enable its clients to fulfill their sustainability objectives.  

“We’re excited to become a member of the Cyclyx Consortium and can’t wait to bring CheckSammy’s data-backed sustainability solutions to fellow consortium members” CheckSammy co-founder and CEO Sam Scoten says. “We pride ourselves on not only being experts in the planning of projects that make the most sense for our clients, but also being ‘boots-on-the-ground’ in the proper execution of those projects.”

Cyclyx notes the similarities between its 10to90 program and CheckSammy's Drop program, an initiative designed to streamline and simplify discarded material collection. Cyclyx’s 10to90 program aims to increase the recyclability of plastic from 10 percent to 90 percent.  

"The similarities in our intrinsic values and approaches to facilitating sustainable circular solutions is what make CheckSammy such a good fit for our Consortium, as well as a possible future collaborator for our 10to90 programs," says Ron Sherga, vice president of member engagement at Cyclyx. "Both CheckSammy and Cyclyx agree that the best way to optimize the recyclability of postuse plastic is by making resources and programs simple to understand and accessible. As a result, we can keep more postuse material out of the landfill."
