Introduction:
Plastic pollution has become a critical environmental challenge, with tens and hundreds of millions of tons of waste plastic threatening ecosystems, human health, and the global climate. As the world grapples with this crisis, industries associated with plastic pollution are under increasing pressure to find solutions that not only reduce waste but also prevent further environmental damage.
The Challenge:
The plastic goods and plastic manufacturing industries face a growing storm of regulations, public scrutiny, and environmental concerns. Emissions of greenhouse gases from waste plastic pollution and not-yet-disposed of plastic in landfills and palletized in warehouses is significant. Traditional methods of disposing of or recycling plastic are often insufficient, costly, and environmentally damaging. The process of producing new virgin plastic resin further exacerbates the problem, generating significant greenhouse gas emissions and consuming valuable resources.
The w2e Plastic Pollution Solution:
w2e Technology offers a straightforward approach to this global crisis. Our “Plastic Pollution Solution” completely eliminates waste plastic and transforms it into value – fuels, energy & other products. Our proprietary exothermic thermochemical process starts by converting waste plastic into pure hydrogen and pure food/medical grade carbon dioxide. From there, we have many options available and directions to choose from in terms of end-products. Creating BTX (benzene, toluene, and xylene) for sale to makers of more plastic will be a high priority, as follows:
- BTX Avoids the Creation of New Virgin Plastic Resin from Petroleum: One of the major drawbacks of making plastic “from scratch” is the need to make new virgin plastic resin from petroleum. Making new virgin plastic resin from petroleum creates a very large amount of greenhouse gas emissions – the most significant GHG emissions, far and away, in the entire life-cycle of plastic. Using BTX to make new plastic from old plastic avoids the need to create new virgin plastic resin from petroleum. Supplying BTX to makers of plastic prevents the emissions and environmental impact associated with traditional plastic production.
- Circular Economy: By completely disposing of waste plastic, w2e addresses the pollution problem associated with plastic. By transforming waste plastic into BTX, the waste becomes value. This in turn enables a circular economy where plastic waste is repurposed into raw materials for making new plastic, while reducing the overall demand for fossil fuels and cutting down on pollution.
Environmental and Economic Benefits:
- Reduced Environmental Footprint: w2e’s solution addresses GHG emissions from plastic pollution and reduces GHG emissions in new plastic production.
- Regulatory Compliance and Market Leadership: By adopting w2e’s solution, companies can stay ahead of regulatory requirements, enhance their sustainability credentials, and lead the market in environmental responsibility.
NEXT STEPS:
w2e is capable of processing and eliminating multiple forms of waste, pollution and nuisance. From the process comes clean fuel and power in the form of many in demand end-products. w2e is ready to bring timely, profitable solutions that address the needs of many industries, companies and interests.
