A LIFE IN PLASTICS

An Accidental Recycler

Kurt Duska has been in the plastics industry for over 40 years as a contract manufacturer. On a flight, a seatmate that worked for a medical company said she "wished she could recycle their used IV bags at hospitals". With no experience in recycling, Kurt received a grant from the PA DEP and purchased an Erema recycling system. Twelve years later Kurt has run a recycling trial with the Cleveland Clinic as well as developed sustainability programs for multiple fortune 100 manufacturing companies. Kurt's experience covers medical, food, telecommunication, and consumer products. Kurt represents  Engineered Plastics Recycling Solutions as a consultant in new business development, program design, and technical solutions
