What B. Schoenberg does

B. Schoenberg & Co., Inc. is a privately held, family-controlled recycled plastics manufacturer and trader founded in November 1994 and headquartered at 345 Kear Street, Yorktown, New York. The company operates ten branch offices across at least eight U.S. states (New York, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky with two locations, Rhode Island, South Dakota), two manufacturing plants, and several warehouse facilities, supporting both the buying of industrial plastic scrap and the selling of recycled polymers and proprietary compounded products. Its product portfolio spans three internally manufactured lines: BSC 50-100 Polyethylene Concentrate and BSC 50-100 Polypropylene Concentrate (black color concentrates positioned for tubing, profile, sheet, blow molding, and injection molding applications with high tint strength and lower use levels), Flexible PVC Repro pellets, and the newer Semi-Rigid PVC Repro pellets — all produced under stated quality control procedures. The company's underlying technology is conventional thermoplastics reprocessing and compounding rather than digital or automated systems, with no disclosed AI, software, or proprietary automation stack.

The business operates two parallel revenue engines. The first is a high-volume recycled plastics trading operation, buying and selling an unusually broad basket of polymers (ABS, Acrylic, HDPE, PET, PVC-flex and rigid, polypropylene, polystyrene, and 20+ specialty resins) via quote-based pricing and regional sales representatives who handle both buy- and sell-side flows; this trading arm consumes 200 truckloads per month of flexible PVC feedstock. The second engine is the in-house manufacturing and sale of proprietary color concentrates and PVC repro pellets to plastic manufacturers and processors. Customers fall into three segments — Plastic Manufacturers and Processors (primary), Plastic Scrap Sellers, and Enterprise Recycling Programs (managed multi-year engagements) — and are reached through direct sales representatives at each branch office plus a company website. Financially, the company reports a Paydex rating of 87 with payments averaging 17 days ahead of terms, and has remained founder-owned since inception under President and CEO Brad Schoenberg and Executive Vice President Matt Kness, with no disclosed external investors, M&A, or funding rounds.
