Hi colleagues!

Sharing technological updates from the world of the recycling industry!

Cyclion Energy is a company offering innovative technology for plastics recycling. It has developed a groundbreaking method that can convert plastics into oil at rather lower temperatures than other waste-to-energy technologies. This technology represents a significant advancement in the recycling industry, as it can efficiently process a wide range of plastics, including those that are typically challenging to recycle, but also avoid unintentional generation of gases. The process involves heating plastics to the temperature of 240-310 degrees Celsius in the absence of oxygen, resulting in the transformation of plastics into valuable oil products.

The company is working on its inaugural commercial project in the Philippines, a country known for its alarming contribution to oceanic plastic waste. The Philippines, with a population of 114 million spread across 7641 islands, is responsible for over one-third of the world's oceanic plastic waste, as reported by Our World in Data. It is planned to have this project operational by 2025 and use it as a model for future endeavors, potentially including projects in Australia.

Looking forward to further updates and innovative projects in other island states across the world!
