The Circular Economy of Plastics

Plastics make modern life possible: food is safer and more plentiful, cars are lighter and less dangerous, medical devices are cleaner, and almost all consumer goods are produced more affordably and with less damage to the environment. However, 8.3 billion metric tons of plastic have been produced since plastic was introduced in the 1950’s, and only 5-6% of plastics are ever recycled. Most plastics are difficult to recycle by traditional mechanical methods, leading to a crisis of waste plastics in our oceans, cities, and natural landscapes.

 
 

Without our help, these plastics won’t degrade in our lifetime.

 
 

Resynergi’s process takes in some of the most common waste plastics, HDPE, LDPE, PP, and PS, and rapidly breaks the long polymer molecules down into shorter hydrocarbons, turning them back into the chemicals that were used to make the plastics in the first place. Over many years of development by Resynergi and our research partners, we have proven a solution to the problems posed by contaminated waste plastics, producing clean chemicals that can be turned back into plastics. By improving the purity and yield of pyrolysis oils, our product reduces the need for further processing before being polymerized into fresh, clean plastics.

In-depth Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of Resynergi’s process shows a 68%+ reduction in carbon intensity when compared with the same chemicals produced by conventional means. This means that less carbon enters the atmosphere, and that plastic is diverted from landfills at the same time.

High Quality,

Low Carbon Intensity

 
 

By producing valuable chemicals from waste, we are ensuring the circularity of these materials. Plastic doesn’t have to fill landfills and oceans, and oil doesn’t have to be extracted from the ground to make fresh plastics. Resynergi is helping to clean the planet of its waste, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and bolster the circular economy of these invaluable materials.
