Our Story

Our Beginnings

Denton Plastics was founded in 1983 on one man's vision – Dennis Denton believed that it was possible to help the environment and promote economically sound business principles at the same time.

He and his colleagues began harvesting the urban forest, excavating plastic materials from the scrap bins and warehouses of industrial plants, businesses and schools. Old plastics were transformed and given new life.

As the needs of customers became more diverse, the company's recycling and processing solutions grew to meet them. Extrusion processes were introduced to engineer plastics compounds and leading-edge collection systems were designed.

Today, Denton Plastics continues to be an innovative leader in plastics waste reduction, serving customers around the globe with our cradle-to-cradle philosophy. Most importantly, our commitment to making a positive difference in the world remains as strong as ever.

Our Pledge

To be the leader in service, quality and efficiency for our customers and suppliers. If it's a custom-blend polymer, we'll work with you to create it. If it's a recycling need, we'll work to turn your trash into someone else's treasure. You are the core of our business. Denton Plastics is here to serve you.
