Our process utilizes 4 types of used plastics as pyrolysis feedstocks, addressing 60% of global plastic waste: ♴ HDPE, ♶ LDPE, ♷ PP and ♸ PS.
Nexus works with sustainability-minded companies and recycling organizations across the plastics supply chain to secure used plastics that would otherwise be thrown away and put into a landfill, reducing the potential of leakage of these plastics into the environment. Our supply partnerships also enable companies to meet their waste reduction and zero-waste-tolandfill goals which represent a win-win-win for Nexus, our supply partners and the environment.
Pyrolysis is a proven technology that has been used for over 50 years in the chemicals and plastics industries. In a pyrolysis process, plastic is heated in a closed system in the absence of oxygen and the plastic molecule is then converted back into its original molecular building blocks. Pyrolysis is not incineration as it does not burn plastics because there is no oxygen in the closed system.
Our proprietary technology and leading process design optimizes those established pyrolysis principles to ensure energy efficiency, boost yields and deliver unprecedented product quality. We utilize only heat without oxygen at atmospheric pressure to break the long chains of the used plastic molecule into shorter chains in the form of gas.
This gas is then cooled into its components which is comprised primarily of circular liquid. The circular liquid is then sold to our offtake partners who use it directly and without additional post-treatment to replace fossil-based sources in their production of new virgin-quality circular plastic.
