We are a cleantech startup currently based in Linden Alberta. Our primary focus at this time is on the pyrolytic processing of waste plastics into petroleum products, carbon char and electricity. At present we are using a benchtop model to ascertain data on the various waste/feedstock streams present in agriculture and industrial practices. We are currently processing grain bags, silage plastic and bail wrap from the agricultural sector. The end goal is to digitally twin our benchtop model for scaling and optimization purposes.
