Heartland Bio Composites has moved one step closer to opening a plant in Goshen County that will produce wood substitute products made of recycled plastics and wheat or barley straw.
Heath Van Eaton, developer of a wheat/plastic wood substitute product, has moved to Torrington with his wife, Amy, and has opened a temporary office on Main Street.
Looking forward to a target opening date of April, Van Eaton has hired a lead engineer, John Mitchell, to join him in starting up the plant.
Goshen County-raised Mitchell, a mechanical engineer, has moved his family back to Torrington.
Van Eaton and Mitchell, both 33 years old, met through a mutual acquaintance and had spoken several times over the past few years about the proposed plant. Both are University of Wyoming graduates.
