Oconee employer to make investment, add jobs

A recycling and waste solutions company near the highway 123-11 interchange in Oconee will expand operations and add jobs.  According to the county Economic Alliance, the company PreZero on the Sandifer Boulevard will invest $11.5 million and create 32 jobs.  The company provides end-market solutions to waste generators and organic waste into valuable raw materials and commodities.  The expansion is to allow the local PreZero to process 40 thousand tons of plastic a year.  Its material comes from recovery facilities that collect residential and commercial waste, and the film is primarily sourced from retail businesses.  The Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded Oconee a $100 thousand set-aside grantsfor costs related to the project.
