August 1, 2025 – Mont Belvieu, TX – TALKE USA, Inc. broke ground at its new Recycling Support Center at Langston Drive in Mont Belvieu today.

This new facility represents the next phase of TALKE USA’s ongoing growth and continued investment in responsible logistics infrastructure. With support and funding from Chambers County, the project highlights a shared commitment to local economic development, environmental responsibility, and sustainable industry innovation. The County's involvement has been pivotal in aligning community priorities with long-term industrial growth.

As part of its role in supporting circular supply chains, the facility will contribute to advanced recycling and mechanical recycling efforts by processing post-consumer plastic materials. At the TALKE facility, these materials will be received and formed into bales.

The material will be further processed at Cyclyx's new Houston-based Circularity Center and converted into ISCC-PLUS-certified recycling feedstock.

This work between public and private entities helps contribute to a more sustainable plastics supply chain.

The Recycling Support Center will support evolving customer needs while advancing TALKE’s broader commitment to ‘Crafting Responsible Logistics’—a company-wide promise to deliver high-performance logistics with a focus on sustainability, safety, and long-term impact.

“We’re proud to break ground on a facility that reflects our long-term vision for sustainable growth,” said Richard Heath, Chief Executive Officer & President of TALKE USA, Inc. “This groundbreaking marks an important milestone for our team, our customers, and the Mont Belvieu community.”

“I’m excited about the collaboration that made this project possible,” said Alexander Boehm, Chief Operating Officer of TALKE USA. “Tommy Hammond and the team at Chambers County, along with our partners at Cyclyx and the City of Mont Belvieu, have been instrumental in helping us take this important step to build the Recycling Support Center."

The ceremony brought together local officials, partners, and members of the TALKE USA team to celebrate the beginning of construction. Ongoing partnership with Chambers County will help guide the project through its next phase. Additional information about the Recycling Support Center’s role in advanced and mechanical recycling, environmental impact, and circular logistics will be shared as the project develops.
