The Polyflow process accepts mixed polymer waste and produces aromatic products in a closed vessel.
There is minimal CO2 emitted with no particulate exhaust due to Polyflow's closed loop design where exhaust recovery = a viable energy source for production.
Greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by 70% over the Waste-to-Energy method of polymer disposal, incineration.
Complex polymer based consumer items such as electronics, computers, shredded automobiles, carpet scrap, and used tires can be handled by the Polyflow process. There is no need to dispose of these items via export or landfill.
Municipality and Resident Benefits
Polyflow will increase the resident plastic and rubber recycling rates exponentially. The resident will no longer be restricted to recycling primarily type #1 and #2 plastic due to Polyflow’s ability to utilize what was once viewed by the waste industry as garbage.
The new market created by Polyflow for the plastic and rubber waste will drive down the cost of municipal garbage hauling for municipalities and residents, as more material is diverted from waste hauling and landfill costs into a viable alternative energy solution.
Waste Hauler Benefits
The Polyflow process reduces the disposal costs for industrial and commercial polymer waste. This new opportunity for savings by manufacturers directly improves their financial viability.
Polyflow can recycle all polymer waste, the market is not limited to the 20% regrind rate that constrains most plastic recyclers.
Petrochemical Benefits
Polyflow brings raw material cost stability to the polymer industry. Because Polyflow's production is not dependent on crude oil and natural gas to produce monomers, Polyflow does not experience price fluctuations common in the industry today.
Polyflow produces chemical feedstock at a cost significantly less than the price of conventional production methods. Using the Polyflow process at full scale, one half of the nation's mixed polymer waste will meet 100% of the market demand for feedstock for engineering polymers.
