Shanghai's Roy Tech Environ said it would build a plastics recycling plant in the town of Grant, Alabama. The China-based company said last year it was looking for a US site in order to guarantee recycled plastic material for its factories in Shanghai, which has clamped down on imports of plastic waste. Roy Tech, which focuses on recycling post-industrial plastics, said it would initially install grinders and shredders for five production lines at the Alabama facility and aims to process 20,000 tons plastic in its first year of operation.
