How Plastics Renewal® Works
Learn More
Brightmark's one-of-a-kind Plastics Renewal® technology takes mixed stream plastics and recycles it into a single output that is used to make new products. It's all thanks to a scientific process called pyrolysis*.
* pyrolysis
The chemical decomposition of materials through the application of heat. Distinct from combustion (burning) because it uses no oxygen.
We can recycle various plastics.
The potential impact of Plastics Renewal® is incredible. Plastic waste that may have ended up in a landfill or incinerator can now be converted into new, circular products to be used again.
STEP 1
Plastic is transported from cities, companies, and homes to our centers.
STEP 2
Once received, plastic waste is prepped by shredding.
STEP 3
After plastic waste is shredded, it is extruded into small pellets and fed into vessels.
STEP 4
Once the pellets are in the vessels, they are heated and vaporized in an oxygen-starved environment.
STEP 5
The final products are sent to our customers, which can be used for future lives as ISCC PLUS-certified circular plastic products.
