A clean technology solution that turns plastics from cities and the ocean into low-carbon fuels for transportation.
Countries are having trouble dealing with plastic waste in cities and floating plastics in our oceans. This technology aims to move the world toward a more circular economy by using waste as a resource to make products that are good for the environment.
Positive facts about Urban & Ocean Plastics Carbon Recycling
The conversion of 1 tonne of mixed plastics will reduce GHG emissions by 600 kg of CO2eq, produce 745 L of ethanol and avoid the production of around 500 L of gasoline from crude oil
Reduces dependence on crude oil
Reduces GHG emissions related to waste transportation
Minimizes or eliminates the disposal of plastics in landfills, incinerators, and leakage to both terrestrial and marine environments
Takes plastic waste and converts it into low carbon transportation fuels providing a competitive solution generating savings in the range of 10 to 15% lower than traditional solutions
