ZACHARY M. PENICK
FOUNDER / RECYCLING WORX LLC
FOUNDER / RECYCLING WORX LLC
Zachary grew up around industrial maintenance, where curiosity was encouraged and nothing was ever truly “unfixable” until you understood why it broke.
His father, Frederick, an engineer, taught him to think beyond the obvious—although Zachary still suspects his dad could have started a machine with two sticks and sheer determination.
There was also a childhood fishing contest Zachary won at age nine. To this day, he isn't entirely convinced his dad didn't have something to do with the size of that fish.
The lasting lesson was simpler: everything in life is earned. That mindset became a hands-on approach to troubleshooting, maintenance leadership, and continuous improvement in recycling operations.
Recycling Worx exists to bring that problem-solving mentality to facilities that need solutions grounded in the realities of the plant floor.
