Arcis Resources Corporation Announces First Delivery of Recycled Resin Pellets to GDC
February 07 2012 - 2:00PM
Arcis Resources Corporation ("Arcis") (OTC: ARCS.QB) announced
today the completed delivery of 35,000 lbs of two types of recycled
plastic resin pellets to GDC, Inc. ("GDC"). The recycled resin will
be utilized by GDC in the production of OEM automotive parts, a
process in which the recycled resin offers excellent
performance. This recycling program is evidence of the growing
efforts by the major automobile manufacturers and their Tier 1
suppliers to reduce the environmental impact of their products and
facilities.
This initial delivery is part of a program driven by the desire
of GDC's OEM automotive customers for parts and products that
correlate with their own sustainability goals. Once the
product specifications are approved by GDC, Arcis anticipates
monthly deliveries to GDC of recycled Polypropylene ranging between
20,000 to 40,000 lbs.
This is the second recycling program in which GDC and Arcis have
partnered. In 2010, GDC partnered with Mobile Fluid Recovery, Inc.
("MFR"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Arcis Resources Corporation,
to recycle contaminated oil booms reclaimed from a 200+ mile
stretch of the 2010 Gulf Oil Spill. Through the joint efforts
of the parties, over 100,000 pounds of plastic resin was produced
from the reclaimed materials. During this project, MFR's
patented fluid recovery technology was used to extract the oil and
waste water from the booms so the polypropylene material could be
processed into a plastic resin. GDC used this recycled plastic
resin to manufacture the deflectors that direct air around the
Chevrolet Volt's radiator. According to General Motors (GM),
this joint project produced enough plastic resin to supply the
first year's run of 10,000 cars.
"Having partnered with MFR during the Gulf Spill, we are
enthusiastic to expand our relationship with Arcis and explore new
ways to integrate their access to beneficial reuse feedstocks, such
as recycled Polypropylene plastic resin pellets, into our
products," said Chris Miller, Vice President of Sales &
Operations at GDC, Inc.
