Plastic has transformed modern life,...

...but plastic waste is a problem that needs to be solved now!

Chemical recycling:

  • Returns plastic to its original chemicalcomponents
  • Creates newplasticswith qualities equalto the original material
  • Allowsproducersto meet recycled contentmandates
  • 50% - 70% lower carbon footprint comparedto virgin manufacturing(1)

Chemical recycling makes plastic a circular resource

Discrete Polymers

High-quality, industrial-grade styrene that is ready to be dropped into existing polystyrene manufacturing facilities, with similar pathways for PET and acrylic.

Low-Carbon Fuels

Low-carbon, sustainable oil made from mixed waste plastic ready to be refined into drop-in fuels.

Styrene
PET
Acrylic

VGO Crude Oil Jet Fuel Bunker Oil Diesel

Polymer Base Stocks

Low-sulphur, ultra-low residuals for drop-in to existing olefin manufacturing facilities (polypropylene and polyethylene) or use as a naphtha feedstock.
