Recycling is a green growth industry in South Carolina.

SC is home to over 300 recycling companies including collectors, processors, recycled product manufacturers and equipment makers. The Recycling Market Development staff at the South Carolina Department of Commerce provides business matchmaking support, administers one-on-one materials management consultation, works with existing and emerging markets for materials, and tracks the economic impact of the recycling industry.

In 2023, the SC’s recycling industry continued to grow with 10 new or existing companies, $1.75 billion in capital investments, and 2,178 new jobs, according to the S.C. Department of Commerce’s Recycling Market Development Advisory Council.

Horry County and the Grand Strand area are home to nearly 200 existing industries.

Recently, the MBREDC showcased many of the industries currently thriving in Horry County at the

“Made in Myrtle: An Existing Industry Event.”

Visitors learned about the items being created, manufactured, and distributed in our area and the jobs that may be available.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this informative event.

Our April class began on the South Strand at Systems Technology, specializing in electronic assembly and precision machining.

Next stop was Benjamin’s Bakery in Surfside Beach. We took a behind-the-scenes tour to learn about their bread and coffee production. They supply over 100 local restaurants!

Benjamin’s Bakery prepared our lunch (they do catering), which we took with us to Tidelands Health. After hearing about all that Tidelands offers, we took another behind-the-scenes tour to learn about the many non-medical jobs within a hospital.

We ended the day at Shade & Shutter Expo, Palmetto Shade Co, and Carolina Powder Coating, all owned by the Fergus Family. Each business was created to meet the needs of the local community. They recently celebrated 20 years!

Visit the websites of these local industries to learn more about what is being made in Horry County and the jobs they offer.

Thank you to each of these businesses for welcoming our class.

If you are interested in being part of the next Industry Awareness Class that will begin in September 2024, contact Sandra James for more information. Applications will be accepted beginning in June 2024.

Congratulations to SGA|NW, now GreenbergFarrow.
