Green, safe and efficient catalysts that make plastic recycling financially attractive
Plastalyst develops green, safe and efficient catalysts that make plastic recycling financially attractive. The first product for recycling plastic waste on an affordable small scale is already in the prototype phase: it is a state-of-the-art catalyst that depolymerises plastics at low temperatures, drastically reducing costs. Compared to current technologies, Plastalyst requires only 10 percent of the investment and 50 percent of the operating costs.
The need
According to the UN, only 9 percent of 8.3 billion tons of plastic waste has been recycled over the past 65 years. This is mainly because recycling it has not been considered economically feasible.
The solution
Plastalyst develops green, safe and efficient catalysts that make plastic recycling financially attractive. The first product for recycling plastic waste on an affordable small scale is already in the prototype phase: it is a state-of-the-art catalyst that depolymerises plastics at low temperatures, drastically reducing costs. When compared to current technologies, Plastalyst requires only 10 percent of the investment and 50 percent of the operating costs.
The value proposition
- Decomposes plastics efficiently on site, from polymer to monomer, at a lower temperature (below 200°C) and pressure than competitors.
- Unlike current technologies, Plastalyst produces no dioxin, GHG emissions, or tar.
- Catalysts can be sold to chemical or waste management companies or licensing provided of the technology.
