Technology

One reactor. Two products.

Most plastic waste is polyethylene and polypropylene: long chains of the same carbon and hydrogen units that make up new plastic and jet fuel. Refinity breaks those chains down to light olefins, then sends the gas where the market needs it.

How it works

Where the two products split

Light olefins are the starting point for both new plastic and jet fuel. Refinity makes them once, then sends them one of two ways.
