Caribbean Fibres, Inc.

Caribbean Fibres, Inc. was established in 1995 as a reseller of scrap paper collected in recycling carts from local print shops in Miami. Over the next decade paper collection volumes grew rapidly as scrap paper prices continued rising along with all other exported commodity flows. High grade post-consumer paper fiber, or “pulp substitutes”, were under increasing demand from foreign tissue paper and toweling mills located primarily in South and Central America.

The company added scrap cardboard collections which accelerated export volume growth. Caribbean Fibres, Inc. then purchased its’ first high speed baler to machine compress the fiber internally allowing it to capture additional value instead of having to sell it locally to larger processors. This step allowed it to bypass the broker and sell direct to end user mills located in Venezuela and Colombia. Mill direct supplier partnerships with these foreign mill buyers followed and the company re-branded itself as “Recycle Capital”, a fictitious name registered in the State of Florida.

In 2017 Recycle Capital acquired its’ current 4 acre recycling facility centrally located in Medley FL., featuring two full size Fairbanks truck scales, 10 loading docks, a larger Macpresse high speed baler, and an integrated hardware/software ERP platform.

When China imposed its “green fence” in late 2017 signaling their intent to exit as primary global purchasers of North American recyclables, a global decline in commodity prices followed, a bearish trend which continues today. As a result of changing market conditions Recycle Capital shifted course, away from commodity based fiber sales to focus on fee based waste and recycling services targeting commercial and industrial waste customers in the South Florida tri-county region. The new direction emphasized servicing the South Florida construction community with low cost high value waste and recycling solutions. These new customers consisted of construction companies, general and shell contractors, commercial property managers, land developers, and associated vendors and suppliers.
