Waste Plastics to Fuel Fuel is ultra low sulfur diesel and high
quality chemicals
An Existing Problem…Excessive Plastic Waste
- U.S. plastic waste
- 23,000,000 tons of plastic waste landfilled in 1999, and increasing
annually
- Less than 6% of all plastic waste recovered is recycled
- Recycled post consumer plastic waste has little value and subject to
volatile and mixed market
- States enacting laws for increased waste diversion from landfills
- Landfill operators seeing solution for plastic waste
- Social/political pressure for new recycling technologies
An Emerging Problem
Poor air quality and “Dirty” diesel fuels
- Air emissions from diesel-powered engines contain high levels of sulphur
oxides (SOx) and NOx, and other pollutants.
- Diesel Emissions are associated with serious health, environmental and
economic impacts
- Fed EPA recently enacted the most stringent diesel fuel requirements in
history, which are being phased into effect between now and 2006 on
commercial fleets
- waste hauling fleets
- municipal and school buses, and
- large diesel fleets
- port/marine fueling terminals
- Diesel users are seeking alternative fuel sources to comply with these
rigorous emission standards
