As part of the Homecoming and Reunion festivities, attendees are invited to a discussion and presentation of sustainability from Robert and David Mendelson of Donco Recycling Solutions. For more than 50 years, Donco has been at the forefront of recycling solutions. From recycling fibers to financing baling systems to creating new markets for unique by-products, Donco creates value-added solutions that can boost productivity to improve their clients’ bottom lines. 

After serving as president of Donco for more than 40 years, Robert Mendelson is now Chairman of the Board. He started Donco in 1959 with just one employee. Over the years, the Donco company expanded and includes Ohio Pulp Mills Inc., Ramblin Corp and Poly Recyclers, Inc. In the process of expansion, he built an experienced team of professionals focused on buying and selling secondary materials. This team includes his son, David, who now serves as the president of Donco. Having the reigns of the company in such capable hands gives him more time to spend with his wife, Linda, their children and many grandchildren.

David Mendelson has been instrumental in expanding Donco’s focus beyond traditional scrap paper by developing markets for a wide variety of secondary raw materials including agricultural byproducts, multi-material laminations, among other twenty-first century waste streams. David graduated from Vanderbilt University with a Bachelors degree in American History. Like previous generations, he apprenticed early, working during his high school and college years at Ohio Pulp Mills and at Donco’s regional offices around the country. He joined the Donco team full-time in 1989 and assumed his current role as president in 1998. David represents the fourth generation of leadership and lives in Chicago, Illinois with his wife, Blythe and their children.

The Sustainability Talk will be held on Thursday, November 7, 2019 in the Student Center at Miami Herbert Business School from 5:30 pm until 6:30 pm. Click here for registration.
