Turning Difficult to Recycle Plastic Into Usable Energy
STEP 01
Plastic Waste
Qualified difficult-to-recycle plastic streams provide the input material for the PHOCA conversion process.
Plastic Waste Conversion Technology for Industrial Applications
PHOCA Energy is developing a conversion platform for difficult-to-recycle plastic waste, producing hydrocarbon gas for potential industrial energy applications
A New Pathway for Difficult Plastic Waste
Not every plastic waste stream fits conventional recycling pathways. PHOCA is developing an additional option for organizations managing difficult-to-recycle plastic waste
Designed for Industrial Deployment
PHOCA is developing a scalable system architecture focused on repeatability, modular deployment and future capacity expansion

Why plastic conversion technology is possible
Plastics are long chains of hydrocarbons built from building blocks that originate in fossil fuels. This conversion is possible because plastics share the same carbon-and-hydrogen building blocks as fuels. When these chains are broken into smaller pieces, many of the resulting molecules are hydrocarbon gases. In short, plastics are hydrocarbons—so they can be turned back into hydrocarbon gas
