What Re:gen does

Re:gen is a privately held industrial recycling and material processing company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Middlebury, Indiana. The company serves industrial manufacturers operating in plastics and rubber lifecycles with a portfolio that spans grinding, reprocessing via pelletizing with melt filtration, pulverizing, plastics trading, cured and uncured rubber processing, and zero-landfill solutions. Re:gen positions itself as a single-contractor alternative for customers seeking to divert manufacturing scrap and end-of-life material from landfill.

The company's underlying operations rely on physical processing infrastructure — shredders, pulverizers, melt filtration systems, and pelletizing lines — that convert industrial scrap and post-consumer material into reusable resale or reprocessed inputs. Melt filtration is presented as a distinguishing technical capability, enabling reprocessing of contaminated or mixed plastics into specification-grade pellets. Its zero-landfill offering is anchored in at least one documented partner case study and is structured as a managed service around customer waste-stream elimination rather than as a commodity resale business.

Re:gen runs a direct B2B sales motion with quote-based pricing, supported by a website-led marketing presence targeting manufacturers that need waste diversion and material resale or reuse. Beyond commercial activity, the company operates a workforce mentorship pipeline that sources employees from local social service agencies, embedding a community-mission element into its staffing model. Re:gen is privately financed, with no disclosed funding rounds, investor roster, executive bios, certifications, or revenue figures in the available source material.

Broad incumbents

• Erema Group: Global leader in plastic recycling machinery, supplying the extrusion and melt filtration systems widely used across the industry. Indirect competitor/threat to Re-Gen's proprietary-melt-filtration positioning because customers could license comparable tech.
• Republic Services: U.S. environmental services major offering recycling, sustainability, and industrial waste solutions. A broad incumbent competitor with scale Re-Gen lacks and a potential acquirer of specialty recyclers.
• Waste Management: Largest U.S. integrated waste and recycling services provider with industrial recycling programs. Could enter Re-Gen's zero-landfill/Specialty recycling niche via acquisition or in-house build, representing competitive pressure.

Direct peers

• KW Plastics: The largest post-consumer polyethylene recycler in North America, reprocessing baled PE scrap into pellet and powder grades. Directly comparable to Re-Gen's reprocessing and pulverizing-to-powder service for plastics.
• Custom Processing Services: East-coast toll processor offering grinding, pulverizing, and cryogenic grinding of plastics and rubber on a fee-for-service basis. Direct overlap with Re-Gen's grinding, shredding, and pulverizing core services.
• Ultra-Poly Corporation: Post-industrial and post-consumer PE recycler reprocessing film and rigid scrap into pellets. Comparable in feedstock sourcing, reclamation, and pelletized output to Re-Gen's plastics arm.
• Avangard Innovative: Houston-based plastics recycler providing recycled LDPE/HDPE pellets plus on-site programs for industrial scrap. Highly comparable to Re-Gen's plastics trading and reprocessing offering.
• Phoenix Technologies International: Pelletizer of post-consumer PET, HDPE, and PP with melt filtration capability similar to Re-Gen's system. Closest direct technical analog for contaminated-stream pelletizing.
• Lehigh Technologies: Producer of micronized rubber powder from end-of-life tires, selling rubber powders for compounding. Closely comparable to Re-Gen's pulverizing-to-35-mesh-powder service and uncured rubber compound matching.
• Genan: Large-scale rubber recycler turning end-of-life tires into crumb rubber and devulcanized rubber. Direct peer in cured-rubber processing, the segment where Re-Gen claims solutions for hard-to-recycle cured scrap.
