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 it all.

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

Collect

Post-use plastic is collected from cities and companies and is shipped to our centers.

STEP 2

Sort

Once received, the plastic is prepped by sorting and shredding it.

STEP 3

Extrude

After it is shredded, the plastic is extruded into small pellets and fed into the vessels.

STEP 4

Convert

Once the pellets are in the vessels, they are heated and vaporized in an oxygen-starved environment.

STEP 5

Re-use

The final products are sent to our customers, which can be used for future lives as ISCC PLUS-certified circular plastic products.
