Neowaste

Neowaste converts mixed, contaminated hard-to-recycle plastic waste into low sulfur diesel fuel using a patented molecular reformation technology called "Polycrack". 

The technology is designed to take waste as it comes: mixed, dirty, unsorted, contaminated and wet. Therefore Neowaste skips the steps of cleaning, sorting, drying and can tolerate moisture and contamination, such as fabrics, paper, food, rubber, glass, metal and dirt.

Although Neowaste has targeted the automotive manufacturing industry as its entry point, the company has also been sourcing hard-to-recycle materials from curbside municipal waste programs, mechanical recyclers, clothing and carpet manufacturers, and a host of other companies and communities with mixed, contaminated plastic waste streams that cannot be recycled traditionally/mechanically. These companies and communities are all seeking economical alternatives to landfilling, incineration and traditional recycling.

By creating a distributed network of small, modular units instead of large, infrastructure-heavy centralized facilities, Neowaste is seeking to decentralize waste management and make it economical to convert plastic into fuel on small scales using batch-mode units that can be deployed and moved from place to place more easily and cost-effectively.

Neowaste is currently operating a batch-mode demonstration/feedstock testing unit in Birmingham, Alabama, USA, and can also arrange for interested parties to observe the 20-ton-per-day, continuous mode commercial-scale unit in Mumbai, India.
