Klean Industries and Dow Chemical have partnered strategically to develop circular fuel solutions by converting waste plastics into synthetic fuels using Klean’s advanced pyrolysis systems.

A Vancouver clean-tech company has inked a deal with American chemical giant Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW) to collaborate on a process for turning used plastics into fuel and chemicals.

Klean Industries Inc. announced Friday that it has struck a deal with Dow to collaborate on converting “end-of-life” plastics and tires, which would otherwise end up in landfills, into various fuels and chemicals.

Plastics are made from petroleum products and can generally only be recycled once. Many plastic bags are never recycled, ending up in landfills.

Klean Industries says one tonne of mixed plastic waste can yield 950 liters of oil. The Company has developed several processes for converting waste products and coal into liquid fuel.

Klean Industries and Dow have extended a three-year letter of intent to collaborate and combine their proprietary processes for converting plastics into syngas and liquid fuel.

“After years of research in the technology marketplace and visiting many facilities around the globe, Klean’s technology is a leader,” said Jeff Wooster, Dow’s global sustainability leader. “This is the only technology we have seen that has consistently operated for over a decade on a commercial scale.”

Jesse Klinkhamer, CEO of Klean Industries, said, “The ever-increasing amounts of plastic waste present a global opportunity, and we are pleased to provide a solution for dealing with it.”
