We’re excited to announce a transformative collaboration between Alterra, Neste, and Technip Energies aimed at advancing the circularity of plastics! Together, we are launching a standardized technology solution for chemical recycling. This partnership will provide a globally available, modular solution based on our proprietary technology. By offering readily designed and engineered plant modules, we can significantly reduce pre-investment costs and accelerate implementation times, enabling companies to scale up their recycling capacities quickly and efficiently. Our innovative process converts hard-to-recycle plastics into valuable liquid hydrocarbons, which can be refined into high-quality raw materials for new plastics and other valuable materials. Frederic Schmuck, our CEO, emphasizes, “We are enabling a copy-paste solution for liquefaction plants, allowing for fast scale-up of economically viable recycling capacities globally.” Join us in this critical step toward a sustainable future. Together, we can reduce our reliance on virgin fossil resources and accelerate the circular economy for plastics. #SolvingPlasticPollution #Sustainability #ChemicalRecycling #CircularEconomy

We’re thrilled to have participated in the Waste Stations at this year’s Akron Marathon Charitable Corporation Marathon! It was an amazing experience collaborating with another organization committed to creating a cleaner, greener future. A massive shoutout to our Alterra Relay Teams, Alterra Volunteers, and Phi Sigma Rho Akron for their enthusiasm in promoting Inficycle and encouraging everyone to bring us their waste. Together, we’re making a difference! #AkronMarathon #Sustainability #Recycling #Inficycle #SolvingPlasticPollution

Thank you to Representatives Larry Bucshon and Don Davis for the bipartisan introduction of H.R. 9676, the ACCELERATING A CIRCULAR ECONOMY FOR PLASTICS AND RECYCLING INNOVATION ACT. Your leadership paves the way for the harmonization of thousands of recycling programs and legal acceptance of innovative recycling solutions to work alongside traditional recycling in getting discarded plastics out of the environment and back into the economy. #congress #recycling #solvingplasticpollution

Had a fantastic time at the ballpark with the Akron RubberDucks during a corporate partner batting practice! Alterra 's partnership with the Ducks focuses on increasing awareness, access, participation, and support of #recycling . Nicholas Bello 's impressive pitching skills made it tough for Scott Sass and me to hit one out to deep RF where our #Inficycle sign proudly stands. OR maybe we were just being humble in front of our kids! ;) Excited that the Ducks will be in town during the upcoming Advanced Recycling Summit: Circularity in Plastics organized by Smithers . An excellent opportunity to connect with colleagues, customers, or suppliers in a fantastic local venue with an amazing team on the field. Can't wait for the networking opportunities after a day of insightful talks! Reach out to Nicholas Bello for more info on tickets or suites.

Following a successful Summit in Chicago last year, Circularity in Plastics will be returning August 27-28 in my hometown of Akron, Ohio! As the federally designated Tech Hub for Sustainable Polymers, this year's conference in #Akron will facilitate open dialogue across the plastics circularity value chain by providing discussions and networking opportunities to those in the waste management, recycling, petrochemical, polymer manufacturing, and plastic packaging industries as well as brand owners. Take a look at the agenda: https://lnkd.in/eZMXsxGs Register early to qualify for the lowest registration rates.

A big shout out to Jenn Pieper-Klein and the Ohio Chemistry Technology Council team for planning the #EarthDay Clean Up in #Columbus to kick off their Annual Conference. Angela Sot and I were able to participate and divert a portion of the valuable discarded plastics from ending up in the landfill and instead are bringing them back to Alterra where they will be #Inficycled ….. https://lnkd.in/ewBmnUCu

I blinked again and the Alterra team of talented #ChangeAgents has expanded as ten more people joined the cause; #SolvingPlasticPollution ! Welcome to the family James Horrox , Rich Simon , Kelly Burner , Adil Mistry , Barbara Heusser, MBA, Justin Weisler , Adam Rouse, Brian Nelson, Jessica Walker, Ben Mangun.

Thank you to Casey Shevlin at City of Akron, Ohio and Emma Segedy and Jacqui Flaherty-Ricchiuti at Keep Akron Beautiful for hosting a well-organized #EarthDay clean up in #Akron where over 1,000 pounds of litter was removed from the streets! A special thank you to Mayor Shammas Malik for kicking off the event and being such a positive role model for our community. Much of the discarded plastic that Angela Sot , Elisa Reyes , Michael Lind , and Ron S. collected was NOT landfilled. It was brought back to Alterra 's #Inficycling facility to be recycled. We were asked throughout the event, “Can this be recycled?” – Yes it can! #sustainability , #SolvingPlasticPollution
