Established in 2025, CaptuRE Recycling, LLC, is a North Iowan startup that restores the value of the plastic we throw away. Through active community and business participation, CaptuRE takes local recyclables and processes them into something meaningful. Furniture, construction materials, sporting goods, and even musical instruments can all be made from 100% recycled plastic waste sourced from Iowa! Not only does this plastic get diverted from our landfills, but it also transforms into sustainable products that customers can enjoy and appreciate.

At the core of CaptuRE’s mission is to empower and inform the community about the plastic waste crisis. The general public deserves to know what really happens to their recycling and should be provided with the knowledge to help tackle their plastic footprint. Collective action is one of the only tools we have to reduce our plastic intake effectively, and CaptuRE will be the heartbeat driving the change. CaptuRE will strive to be a knowledge base for everything waste-based: Local presentations, park cleanup days, website articles, waste consultations, and much more will be offered to North Iowa communities to pursue a cleaner future.
