Process Overview
Play this video to see Freepoint’s game-changing approach to upcycling waste plastic.
The Solution
A system that upcycles waste plastic into a valuable commodity, thereby cutting emissions, conserving natural resources, and reducing plastics’ environmental impact.
Our
Technology
Pyrolysis is a thermal process that upcycles plastic into its basic molecular form, allowing these hydrocarbons to be reused. It allows for the vast majority of plastic types to be transformed into a liquid hydrocarbon we call “PyOil” by using high temperatures to vaporize the plastic waste and then cooling the molecules into a hydrocarbon-rich liquid that serves as a substitute for crude oil and can be used to make a variety of new products, including plastic resins.
Collection
post-consumer and post-industrial waste is aggregated and delivered to our facility
Sorting
plastic is separated from other waste such as glass, metals, and organics
Sizing
plastic is reduced in size, then processed into pellet form
Pyrolysis
pelletized plastic is fed into the pyrolysis reactor and vaporized in an oxygen-free environment
Condensation
pyrolysis vapors are condensed and liquefied
Product Sales
upcycled liquid hydrocarbons are sold to end customer to create new products
