Scrap Resin 2 Oil - Waste Plastics to Commodity Fuels
Our Focus on Recovering Plastics to Produce Drop in Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel. Plastics to Fuel and Energy: Plastics are created primarily from energy feedstocks, typically natural gas or oil (mostly natural gas in the United States). The hydrocarbons that make up plastics are embodied in the material itself, essentially making plastics a form of stored energy, which can be turned into a liquid fuel source.
Plastics-to-fuel is one of several technologies that can play a role in converting non-recycled plastics into valuable energy (gasification and refuse-derived fuel are two others). Due to the variance of management of recovered plastic, it is important for individual regions/municipalities to understand which technology has the highest return.
Scrap Resin 2 Oil Division is dedicated to assisting municipalities, industrial plastic manufacturers and regions interested in an economic approach to managing plastic waste.
The promise of plastics-to-fuel is particularly exciting as an option to recover materials that today may be buried, or in some regions, illegally dumped or burned in open pits due to inadequate waste management infrastructure. The new facilities could create local revenue for communities in parts of the world where trash has become a hazard and a large source of marine litter.
