RIE began reconditioning poly and steel drums in 1989 and soon after added asset and composite IBCs to its portfolio. In 1999, Recycle, Inc. East became the first company ever to manufacture DOT-certified plastic drums made from 100% recycled plastic. The acquisition will allow NCG to more than double its current capacity for both PCR and drums made from 100% recycled plastic. NCG state the acquisition will also be able to provide improved customer service in the Eastern U.S. and add highly experienced personnel to its team.
