Cutting-Edge Technology Game Changer for Sarnia-Lambton Recycling Firm.

From Troy Shantz, the Sarnia Journal.

A cutting-edge Sarnia recycling company has joined an international partnership to reduce the mountains of hard-to-recycle polystyrene plastic going to landfills and polluting waterways.

“This is a game-changer for consumers and for municipal and industrial, commercial and institutional recycling programs,” said Keith Bechard, chief commercial officer at Sarnia-based ReVital Polymers.

“Polystyrene packaging, regardless of colour, food residue or odours, can be very successfully added to recycling programs.”

The strategic partnership announced last month involves Revital, Montreal-based Pyrowave Inc. and Germany’s INEOS Styrolution.

Single-serve polystyrene products such as foam coffee cups, food packaging and utensils used in supermarkets and take-out restaurants will be recycled, turned into a virgin resin and used to make new products.

Her education includes a B.A., B.ED., M.ED., C.F.P., N.L.P. and the home inspector’s course as well as having her AZ license for five years. Her family home has given her and her husband the opportunity to do extensive renovation and repairs thereby increasing the value about $100,000 in ten years. She has been able to see firsthand how much a sensible and cost efficient renovations can add to the value of a home. Shirley has chosen joint ventures because she thinks that her experiences an help others achieve their goals and maximize the profits for both parties. In 1979, Shirley became involved in a small group of women who started a metal manufacturing company making small deep drawn metal parts for the automobile companies in Windsor. They took the company from start up to over $400,000 in sales in five years. That was a lot of parts since the parts sold for only five cents per each. In 1985 they sold the company to one of their customers. Whether it was selling mutual funds, teaching foster parents how to recruit foster parents, or working for Tony Robbins, Shirley has put more than 100 percent into every endeavour she was involved in.
