Newport CH International

What Newport CH International does

Newport CH International, operating legally as Newport International, LLC, is a private commodity broker founded in 2003 and headquartered at 2515 McCabe Way, Suite 100, Irvine, California. The company sources and trades recovered paper — and more recently recycled plastics — connecting North American suppliers of waste and recovered materials with overseas manufacturers in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Newport is described on its own materials as a waste paper broker with an in-house logistics team and a partner network that supports direct export distribution across three continents. Its revenue model is transaction-based, generating fees by facilitating the cross-border movement of recyclables between suppliers and end-buyers, with pricing negotiated per transaction rather than disclosed publicly.

The firm holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, covering quality management and environmental management respectively — credentials that are standard prerequisites for institutional buyers and many cross-border waste-trade regulatory regimes. The product surface is organized under two core lines, Paper Recycling Services and Plastics Recycling Services, both delivered through the same brokerage and logistics platform. The company positions itself as enabling a circular economy by ensuring waste paper and plastics are effectively repurposed for new production, with operational emphasis on supply-chain efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability compliance.

Newport operates with a small headcount of 11–50 employees, has no disclosed subsidiaries or parent company, has no recorded funding rounds, and has no public management team bios in the source material. There is no evidence of proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, or app-based platforms; the underlying operation is a relationship-driven commodity brokerage supported by trade-finance, logistics, and compliance workflows. Marketing and customer acquisition appear to rely principally on the company's Squarespace-hosted website and direct B2B sales motion, with no public evidence of paid digital marketing or channel partnerships.
