Globally, less than 10% of plastic waste is recycled with the remaining sent to landfills or incinerators. The waste plastic industry accounts for nearly 5% of global CO2 emissions. More than 90% of plastic ends up in landfills, oceans and air, harming life on the planet.
8 million tons of plastic enters oceans every year, enough to cover every foot of coastline on the planet! And it is projected to triple by 2040.
Traditional recycling works well for clean, sorted single-material streams, but limitations like degradation and contamination make it challenging to recycle common plastics. Advanced recycling is seen as a gamechanger.
Bisphenols and phthalates in our food are concerning for several reasons. To start, growing research shows that they are endocrine disruptors, which means that they can interfere with the production and regulation of estrogen and other hormones.
Researchers from Columbia University and Rutgers University found roughly 240,000 detectable plastic fragments in a typical liter of bottled water, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The long-term health impacts are unknown.
Ecocyclic seeks to decarbonize the municipal waste plastic industry by upcycling low quality waste into high quality energy products through a novel low-energy intensity advanced recycling process.
We partner with specialists to deliver a cutting-edge recycling solution: energy-efficient, modular, green and rapidly deployable near waste sources. This eliminates reliance on complex supply chains, minimizing the carbon footprint.
Producing new Plastics from Recycle waste plastics is up to 7 times less energy intensive than from fossil fuels
A 1000-ton plastic recycling offsets 1 Million tons of CO2 per year or equivalent to emissions from about 200,000 people
Recover over 80% of used plastic to raw material and remake new plastic again and again and avoid waste creation
High yield premium pyrolysis oil due to combination of patented features and optimal process control using AI
Difficult to recycle waste consisting of wide mix of plastic feedstock
Allows for scalability and efficient operations
