International distributor of thermoplastics and ancillary materials has formed a partnership with Canadian-based , a global custom compounder of engineering resins, to distribute post-consumer recycled resins. M. Holland says the  partnership will allow its customers to access Lavergne’s certified PCR resins with increased supply chain security and pricing stability in North America.

Founded in 1984, the Lavergne Group today is a major player in the development and production of high performance recycled plastic resins, with manufacturing operations in Canada, Belgium, Vietnam and Haiti. The company has provided circular plastic solutions for some of the largest companies in the world, such as HP, Dyson, and Keurig. Lavergne has developed proprietary technologies allowing it to recycle post-consumer plastic into high-quality non-FDA plastic resins to be used in new products especially in the fields of consumer electronics, automotive and consumer appliances.

Said Samantha Stone, M. Holland’s global sustainability sourcing leader, “Sustainability is a primary focus for the plastics industry, and the demand for PCR resins has accelerated in recent years. Lavergne produces superior, renewed thermoplastic resins that we’re proud to offer our customers. Our partnership with Lavergne will help meet the demand for PCR resins for our clients in North America, where there is currently no viable solution. M. Holland’s customers should also benefit from more stable pricing because Lavergne’s portfolio is 100% recycled plastics and does not depend on shifting petroleum prices.”

Said Lavergne’s v.p. for strategy and planning Benoit Bessette, “We look forward to working with M. Holland and educating the market on the necessary transition to PCR resins by supplying trusted and cost-effective, sustainable materials, while drastically reducing their carbon footprint.”
