About Us:
N.E.W. Plastics Corp's blow molding business unit was founded in
1968. Over the first few years of operation, Irvin Vincent focused on
establishing an environmentally friendly operation that would reduce
plastic waste and its subsequent arrival in a landfill. While his
operation of the blow molding unit set operational environmental standards
at the highest level seen in the industry he was not content with minimal
waste. The RENEW Plastics business unit started producing environmentally
friendly products in 1973 using the minimal scrap from the blow molding
operation as well as other plastic destined for the landfill. Founded by
Irvin Vincent in the fall, he successfully produced the industry's first
recycled high density polyethylene (HDPE) lumber. After three years of
refinement, the decking product was ready for the market. Structures built
with this product in 1976 are still going strong and looking good! For the
next two decades, N.E.W. Plastics Corp. continued to develop its recycling
technology while industry awareness and acceptance of recycled HDPE lumber
products grew. RENEW Plastics was established as a separate business unit
in 1986, dedicated to alternative decking systems and custom extrusions.
Privately held and family-owned for two generations, N.E.W. Plastics Corp.
and RENEW Plastics have quietly been leading innovators in plastic
recycling technology for approaching four decades.
We developed the industry's first plastic lumber, creating a viable consumer market that could divert plastics from our landfills. In that spirit, we buy office and packaging supplies that contain post-consumer and post-industrial waste and our company is PVC free. RENEW Plastics, a division of N.E.W. Plastics Corp., produces EVOLVE® high density polyethylene (HDPE) lumber and custom extrusions. This material is completely recyclable. It is not a composite and contains no fillers. We accept used and scrapped EVOLVE®, and reconvert it into new, usable products. At N.E.W. Plastics Corp. we believe plastic is too valuable to waste. We started recycling milk bottles back in the 1970's when there were no programs in WI, using a "green chopper" to pre-chop the material, utilizing PCR, Post Industrial HDPE, and off spec material when there was not many outlets for it, continuing to keep a clean, non-composite, totally recyclable product that is PVC free in the marketplace, and doing this all for the 35th year this year. In the 70's there was no re-cycling channel for plastic. The Company was told by experts that plastic could not be recycled. Irvin and his co-founder wife, Nancy, and his sons Vern and Lynie, recruited churches, the Girl Scouts, and the Boy Scouts, developing their own plastic recycling channel in surrounding communities. The Vincent's found that 100 plastic milk jugs produced a 10 foot decking board. This became an excellent way to explain how and why it made sense to recycle plastic. Our quiet little company has prevented almost 1.4 billion plastic milk jugs of plastics from entering landfills! Today, for every one plastic bottle that is recycled, three more are thrown away. It's unfortunate because the demand for recycled plastic is higher than ever. N.E.W. Plastics Corp. is headquartered in Luxemburg, Wisconsin, nine miles east of Green Bay. The business is housed in a modern manufacturing campus with more than 90,000 square feet of facility space. N.E.W. Plastics Corp. has the capabilities to convert over 25 million pounds of recycled plastic annually. We pride ourselves in producing environmentally friendly products and practicing from a sustainable business perspective. This company was "Green" before "Green" existed.

"At one time, it was fashionable to say that used plastics were ruining the environment...in other words--plastics were a problem. Through research and creative thinking, we were the first company to turn the problem into useful, environmentally safe products that benefit every segment of society."
