In a significant trial performed today, 9.5 lots of plastic pyrolysis oil (PPO)— produced by Alterra from end-of-life plastics at its center in Akron, Ohio– was processed at Viva Energy’s Geelong Refinery. The trial showed the technical compatibility of Alterra’s sophisticated recycled item with existing refining facilities, highlighting the transformative capacity of Alterra’s innovation in massive plastic recycling options throughout Australia
The effective outcomes show how Alterra’s innovation can produce premium PPO at scale and supports Viva Energy to construct their case for an irreversible soft plastics recycling center in Australia
” The effective trial verifies that our innovation can be incorporated effortlessly with standard refining systems and provide high-purity outputs from challenging plastic waste streams,” stated Valerio Coppini, Chief Commercial Officer of Alterra “We are delighted to partner with Viva Energy to support them in their journey to confirm the processing of soft plastics pyrolysis oil at the Geelong Refinery. We see this as a crucial action in bringing scalable, sustainable plastic recycling to Australia This has to do with more than waste diversion– it has to do with redefining the lifecycle of plastic.”
Alterra’s exclusive procedure breaks down post-consumer plastics into their initial chemical foundation, producing a sustainable feedstock for brand-new plastics and chemicals production. The PPO utilized in the Geelong refinery trial represents the kind of product that will be produced at scale in the proposed recycling center.
