Mission & Sustainability

Waste: ReImagined

Garbage, given a second life.

Most recyclers can only use a sliver of mixed plastic. We built a new way to use nearly all of it.

Collect: the plastic nobody wanted

Mixed #1, #2, #4, #5 and #7 plastics headed for the landfill.

Convert: a new way of making

Next gen extrusion turns up to 98% of it into product.

Build: a post for generations

Set once, built to stand for generations.

The real thing, unposed.

Every photo and clip below is Avery's own, shot on the floor in Lennox. This is the plastic nobody wanted — arriving, being sorted, shredded and extruded into product.
