Sustainability
Reducing emissions from plastic wasteAn innovative solution to enable a circular economy for difficult to recycle waste plastics. Creating value from plastic waste. Reducing emissions. Replacing fossil feedstocks.
Environmental and societal impact
SemperCycle addresses two global problems: plastic waste recycling and chemical sector recycling
Plastic waste is a massive and growing problem – solutions are lacking for most of end-of-life plastics. Decarbonisation of the chemical sector requires a replacement carbon source which is not fossil based. SemperCycle’s technology combines these two problems in an innovative value-creating solution.
Wide range of plastics
Low emissions
Recycling
Less sensitive to difficult to recycle plastics (including for example, PVC, PS)
Significant reduction in CO2e relative to other technologies
75% plastic-to-plastic yield (typically <10% for competing technologies like pyrolysis)
Sustainable development goals
Industry, innovation and infrastructure
Sustainable cities and communities
Responsible consumption and production
Climate action
Life below water
SemperCycle deploys innovative gasification technology to convert hard-to-recycle plastic waste to methanol
Supports cleaner, more sustainable cities by diverting waste from landfill and incineration
Diverts non-recyclable plastic waste from incineration through responsible and circular resource use
Supports decarbonization by providing a renewable feedstock alternative to fossil-based methanol, while also avoiding emissions from incineration of the plastic waste utilized
Prevents mismanaged plastic waste from reaching oceans and harming marine ecosystems
