WestRock Acquires QRS Recycling

WestRock has expanded its recycling capabilities in Louisville, Ky., with the acquisition of QRS Recycling. QRS provides domestic solutions for pre-picked containers, paper and cardboard, metals, single stream and commercial dry waste.

WestRock plans to consolidate its existing Louisville recycling operations into the acquired operations, making it the largest single stream recycling facility in the company’s network. The expanded Louisville operation will be able to supply East Coast plants with recycled fiber.
