The National Lubricant Container Recycling Coalition Welcomes New Associate Member Nexus Circular
The National Lubricant Container Recycling Coalition (NLCRC) is pleased to announce that Nexus Circular has joined the coalition as an associate member. Along with principal members Castrol, Valvoline, Pennzoil - Quaker State, Graham Packaging, Plastipak Packaging, Berry Global, Chevron, and associate member, the Petroleum Packaging Council, Nexus Circular will contribute to the NLCRC's vision to create end-of-life solutions for plastic lubricant containers.
“Nexus Circular has worked with the NLCRC on the Atlanta Lubricant Container Recycling Pilot Program to validate the technical feasibility of the program. The NLCRC’s close collaboration with Nexus Circular to establish long-term commercially scaled solutions for the post-consumer recycling of plastic lubricant containers and to demonstrate the viability of advanced recycling to return the plastic molecule to productive use is of critical importance to the NLCRC’s mission. We couldn’t be more delighted to have Nexus Circular as a program partner and as a member of the NLCRC.” said Tristan Steichen, Director of NLCRC.
Formed in 2021, the NLCRC is an industry-led technical coalition focused on developing a national market-sustaining program that drives the recovery and recycling of plastic packaging used to transport lubricants and related products for commercial and consumer use.
“Nexus is pleased to join the NLCRC and for the opportunity to provide a scaled, infinitely circular solution using our proven advanced recycling system. Converting hard-to-recycle plastics, like post-consumer lubricant packaging, into an ISCC Plus certified liquid which is then used to produce virgin-equivalent plastic packaging is an ideal use-case, demonstrating Nexus’ unique end-of-life solution.” said Eric Hartz, President and Co-Founder of Nexus Circular.
