What We Make for Waste & Recycling

Carts and Containers
Injection-molded components built to withstand frequent handling, heavy loads, and long-term outdoor exposure.

Lids and Hinged Components
Durable molded parts designed for repeated opening and closing without compromising fit or function.

Structural Reinforcements
Molded elements that add strength and rigidity to containers and carts while supporting consistent performance over time.

Wheels and Axles
Precision-molded components that support smooth movement, reliable attachment, and long service cycles.

Custom Waste and Recycling Components
Application-specific parts developed to meet unique collection, handling, and operational requirements—including medical waste. They can be custom-decorated using in-mold labeling, hot-stamping, laser-etched QR codes, serial numbers, and barcodes for
