David Nix is the president and owner of Green Group Consulting and Green Group
Reprocessing.
In his 34-year career in the plastics industry, his focus has been on polypropylene and recycling. He began
his professional life working for two of the largest polyolefin producers in the world, LyondellBasell
(Himont/Montell) and Braskem (Epsilon/Sunoco). In his 18 years with these corporations, he held positions in
sales, marketing, product development, product management, production, asset management, sustainability, and
recycling.
After building experience in the plastic industry, David ventured out by starting a small recycling
business
and contracting with various privately owned companies. His expertise and skill set helped him develop a
large
customer base that routinely relied on his technical knowledge. A pivotal role in David’s career was a
return to Braskem as the Sustainability and Recycling Leader for the United States. He relished the
opportunity to create recycling programs for a large corporation that could begin to make big impacts in the
use of recycled resin.
Continuing his vision for greater recycled resin usage and positively impacting the world, David and his
son
Harrison Nix started Green Group Consulting – a consulting business that interfaces with all aspects
of
the plastics value chain. They work with MRF’s, collectors, equipment manufacturers, additive
producers,
mechanical and chemical reprocessors, compounders, converters, brand owners and investors.
Carrying on their commitment to recycling, David and Harrison bought a post-consumer polypropylene
recycling
business in Albert Lea, Minnesota and renamed it Green Group Reprocessing. The homopolymer PCR product they
make is unmatched in the industry. They use a reverse logistics collection system and maintain a proprietary
wash system that produces consistently high-quality resin. They have improved production and are adding
capacity with new equipment installations.
David holds a degree in Chemical Engineering from Vanderbilt University and an MBA from the McColl School
of
Business at Queens University of Charlotte.
