New Anellotech Technology Tackles Plastics Pollution
PEARL RIVER, NY – Sustainable technology company Anellotech is expanding its program with Plas-TCat™, a new process technology, aiming to convert a wide range of plastic waste directly into chemicals – which can then be used to make new, virgin plastics.
Annually, 95% of plastic packaging material is lost to the economy after a single use and often ends up in combustors, landfills or polluting the ocean. By leveraging Anellotech’s existing Bio-TCat process, which converts biomass into bio-based chemicals and biofuels, Plas-TCat has demonstrated encouraging results in lab studies using pure plastics.
