Untapped plastic Target opportunity: IRG seeks to transform all plastic waste into feedstock, offering a compelling value proposition for suppliers and partners in regions with high plastic scrap availability. Develop outreach to plastics generators, industrial recyclers, and municipalities to secure long-term supply agreements for feedstock and scrap streams.

Hyper-plant potential Sales angle: IRG is pursuing the world’s largest plastics recycling plant with a capability to process all resin types, creating a broad product slate including recycled resins for packaging and metallurgy. Position premium recycling capacity, turnkey feedstock supply, and toll processing services to plastics converters and steel producers seeking sustainable input alternatives.

Public funding signals Funding landscape: IRG has accessed substantial government-backed financing but faced fundraising shortfalls for a $300M project, indicating sensitivity to debt and grant cycles. Leverage this by proposing co-financing, grant-ready partnerships, or phased investment structures to de-risk large-scale deployments for potential investors and lenders.

Erie footprint Regional focus: With active development in Erie, PA and related infrastructure grants, there are geographic sales opportunities with local industrials, logistics providers, and energy users. Develop region-specific go-to-market plans highlighting rail access, local job creation, and environmental benefits to win regional collaborations.

Feedstock versatility Customer fit: IRG’s ability to accept all plastics and produce multiple end-uses (container/resin applications and blast furnace reducing agents) opens cross-segment selling across packaging, metals, and manufacturing. Craft multi-product proposals that show how suppliers can diversify revenue streams by aligning with IRG’s lifecycle recycling model.
