Company Info
- Company Description
- With our technical partners in Japan, we are ready for a pilot test on carbonizing food waste mixed with plastic (up to 10%). This can be applied for discarded plastic and uneaten food of the airline cabin. Huge amounts of food waste and plastic end up in landfills or incinerated.
Problem:
Food waste is often mixed with plastic waste and it is quite difficult to separate. If you incinerate them, you need high temperature, or dioxin, tar and high GHG emissions will be made. Huge recycling facilities are along with high CAPEX and OPEX due to high temperature and their centralized systems.
Products:
We have two types of catalysts: “Kasumi” is to carbonize mixture of food waste (90% or more) and plastic waste (up to 10%) on site at a lower temperature than competitors. “Plastalyst” is to decompose plastics quite efficiently on site from polymer to monomer at lower temperature and pressure than competitors.
