What is Local Gyre?
Local Gyre is a company.
We are building circles of plastic recycling in communities, and we’re starting with arcs in the circles, kind of a step by step progression toward circular economies.

Local Gyre is building curated solutions to local plastic waste by turning a discarded resource into a valuable commodity, creating a circular economy, within the community, benefiting people and the environment.
Getting To Shred
The first arc in the first circle of local community plastic recycling is getting to shred.
This means we need to collect clean plastic waste that can be recycled, and then use machines to shred it.
This is the first step, and it is what Local Gyre founders are working on right now, right here in Tennessee, USA.
