The Alterra team has an unflinching spirit in taking on tough challenges and finding real solutions. One of the greatest challenges the world faces today is the plastic pollution crisis. Only 10% of plastics are currently recycled, and the remaining 90% end up in the landfill, are incinerated, or pollute the environment. So what's the solution? The solution is the process technology that Alterra has developed for taking plastics that cannot be recycled and giving them new life. We do this through a continuous thermochemical liquefaction (pyrolysis) process that we operate at scale at our Akron, OH site. The product leaving this facility is sent to our petrochemical customers and partners which use it as feedstock for new plastics. Our technology is bringing the white board to life and unlocking the circular economy!
