Potential Industries Careers in Los Angeles, CA

Potential Industries co-founder Tony Fan graduated from UC San Diego with a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering in 1974. After working for a few months at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, he decided to pursue the American Dream and start a recycling company. At that time there was very little recovered paper export activity in the US except for material flowing to Canada and Mexico. Tony and his sister, Jessica, saw the potential for export to Asia and believed that recycling in California would expand. Together they decided to create a new company called Potential Industries and pursue their dream of building a recycling network which would profitably help improve the environment.
