What we recover · Why it matters
Today's post-industrial waste is tomorrow's supply.
Industry is producing more complex waste than ever. Most of it still ends in a landfill or an incinerator, and that's a loss for supply chains, for manufacturers and for the planet.
pounds of plastic, metal and hazardous waste produced in North America every year, and demand for resource recovery keeps growing.
Manufacturing is coming home
Every plant brought back to North America needs raw material. Recovered material is the domestic feedstock that can scale at the speed manufacturers are actually moving.
Supply chains need material they can count on
Access to industrial and critical materials is now a policy imperative. Material recovered domestically is supply that can't be embargoed.
Waste is getting harder to handle
Metals, plastics, airbags, batteries and contaminated soils need specialized separation. Status-quo recyclers can't transform fast enough.
Disposal is no longer acceptable
Manufacturers face growing pressure to eliminate waste-to-disposal, and need verified, auditable circular outcomes to prove it.
Our model
Cradle to gate to cradle.
Most waste models end at the landfill. Ours ends where it began: back in production.
Cradle
Manufacturers turn raw materials into products, and generate complex scrap, byproducts and hazardous streams doing it.
Gate
CLN captures those streams at the factory gate. Secure destruction, separation and recovery happen inside one network of facilities.
Cradle
Recovered aluminum, plastics and materials re-enter the supply chain as spec-grade industrial feedstock, ready to make the next product.
and the loop begins again
