Published purpose
Plastic waste is a problem in our modern society. In Canada, as well as on a global scale, most of the plastic waste, more than 79% of it, ends up in landfills, incinerators or in the oceans. To add to this dramatic situation, the export by several countries of discarded plastics to China is now no longer a solution for the management of this waste since July 18, 2017. In order to seize this opportunity, Polynergy's project aims at converting some non-recycled plastic scraps into pyrolytic fuels including automotive gasoline and diesel.
