What if the very material we view as a global crisis—plastic waste—could actually be the key to sustainable railroad infrastructure? Triton Group is redefining waste by transforming post-consumer recycled plastic, reinforced with glass fiber, into high-performance composite railroad ties. These ties last five times longer than traditional wooden ones, eliminating the need for deforestation and toxic chemical treatments. But this is not just about a product but a paradigm shift. Rather than fighting plastic, we can engineer it into efficient, durable, sustainable solutions that fortify our infrastructure while tackling the waste problem at scale. Most importantly, it's a smart economic choice for railroads, providing lifetime savings for every track mile.

Greg Janson, a former infantry Marine turned sustainability innovator, brings decades of plastic recycling expertise. As CEO of Triton Group, he merges a military-honed bias for action with industrial know-how to pioneer a groundbreaking solution: transforming discarded plastic waste into durable, sustainable railroad ties. His work challenges the perception of waste plastic as a mere byproduct of a throwaway culture, proving it can be the foundation for long-term infrastructure solutions. With a deep understanding of plastics recovery and material engineering, Greg is driven by a passion for business-minded environmentalism, aiming to revolutionize both the plastics recycling and rail tie industries.
