Over fifty years of learning how to make recycled plastic work.
Our goal is to fundamentally change the way plastic is recycled in the United States; transforming the genius of post-consumer plastics into superior products on a massive scale.
We are entrepreneurs driven by an indomitable spirit of perseverance and ingenuity to solve America’s plastic waste challenge.
Triton Group traces its roots to QRS Recycling, which opened operations in New Albany, IN in 1974, and later expanded to St. Louis, MO in 1985, where we are now headquartered. We have been in the business of recovering difficult material longer than most companies in this industry have existed. That history is not nostalgia. It is a fifty-year record of figuring out what works.
The problems we focus on are not new. Mixed polyolefins have always been hard to recover at scale. Film and flexible packaging has always been the material that collection programs struggle to place. End markets for post-consumer PP and PE have always been limited by narrow specifications and commodity pricing pressure. We have spent decades working on these problems because we believe the solution is not better technology. It is better market design.
Our model is built around the idea that recycled plastic wins when it is positioned against inferior materials, not against virgin resin. Wood rots. Concrete cracks. Steel corrodes. Recycled plastic engineered with the right reinforcing additives outperforms all three in the applications that matter. That insight shapes every product decision and every supply chain relationship we build.
