In this episode of the Redefining Plastics Podcast, host Justin Riney speaks with Greg Janson, President and CEO of Triton Group. Greg shares his extensive experience in the recycling industry, starting from his early days in his father's recycling business to his current endeavors with Triton Ties.

The conversation delves into the evolution of recycling practices, the challenges of competing with low-cost virgin plastics, and innovative solutions like composite rail ties made from recycled materials. Greg emphasizes the importance of creating long-term demand for recycled plastics and calls for industry-wide collaboration to shift focus from just collection to demand-driven growth for recycling. The discussion also touches on policy implications, the need for educating legislators, and the role of capitalism in driving sustainable recycling solutions.

Infrastructure is the future for recycled plastic materials.
