This small Mexican company transform all type of plastic into 5 differente sulfur and metal-free fuels. The process of non-catalytic pyrolysis is carried out in the abscence of oxygen. Plastics are transformed from their original solid to gas state to later condense them into fuel based on long carbon chains. There is no plastic burn nor combustion in this process

8/9

It has been diffused within Mexico and in others countries, but there is no available feedback from end-users.

From 1kg of plastic (any type of it) transformed: 48% is gasoline, 28% diesel, 12% kerosene, 5% paraffin, 5% propane gas and 2% coke. 

This types of fuel do not produce strictly clean energy, rather they are obstained in an almost clean process of transformation. Even though, this iniciative takes advantage of all plastic waste, including those types of plastic that are non recyclable.
