GEP President Steve Hogan said the project will be completed in two phases. The first component, called Camden Recycling LLC, will be a plastics recycling center. The second phase of the project is to construct a “plastics to renewable” diesel fuel production facility.

Development builder Mike Swinford told the crowd the project will bring construction jobs to Carroll County. He said, as the designer, builder and general contractor for the project, he expects to employ 100 workers in the first year to get the project off the ground.
