Polymers, Inc. (MBA) was founded in 1994 by Dr. Michael Biddle
and Mr. Trip Allen, to expand the research capabilities in the
area of plastics recycling, and to develop a commercial process
for recovering plastics from complex streams of materials. After
over six years of research and development, MBA is now considered
a world leader at developing technology for the recovery of high
value engineering plastics from complex durable goods streams
such as computers, electronics, appliances, and automobiles.
The company, located in Richmond, CA, operates a 90,000 foot
state-of-the-art research and commercial recycling operation.
The
company received considerable support from a wide variety of
stakeholders, including The
American Plastics Council, the computer and electronics industry,
the appliance industry, the automotive industry, the sporting
equipment industry, federal agencies such as DOE, DOC, and EPA;
state agencies such as California EPA, Minnesota Office of Environmental
Assistance; and regional government and nonprofit agencies such
as Alameda County (CA), Hennepin County (MN), and BARTA (Bay
Area Regional Technical Alliance).
