Secondary (Technology Page):

  • Details on their thermochemical liquefaction process (if this page exists; main site should have it)

What They Offer: Thermochemical liquefaction technology that converts hard-to-recycle plastics back into petrochemical building blocks (pyrolysis oil) for producing virgin-quality plastics. Operating commercial-scale facility in Akron, Ohio (20,000 tons/year), licensing technology globally.

Key Technology:

• Thermochemical Liquefaction Technology – Continuous advanced recycling process
• Converts post-consumer mixed plastic waste into pyrolysis oil (petrochemical feedstock)
• “Infinitely Renewed Plastics™” – Converting plastics back to original building blocks
• Operating facility: 20,000-60,000 tonnes per annum in Akron, Ohio
• Partnerships with LyondellBasell, Chevron Phillips Chemical, Shell, Neste, and Freepoint Eco-Systems
• Note: Alterra focuses on chemical/advanced recycling rather than bioplastics production, but creates circular feedstock for new plastic production

⚠️ CRITICAL NOTE: Like Agilyx, Alterra is NOT a bio-based materials company. They are an advanced/chemical recycling technology company that:

• Takes post-consumer plastic waste (fossil-based)
• Converts it via thermochemical process into pyrolysis oil
• Output is used to make “recycled-content” plastics (NOT bio-based)

BPX.ONE Category:

• If platform is strictly “bio-based materials” → ❌ Don’t include
• If platform includes “circular economy / recycling technologies” → ✅ Include in separate category
• They contribute to sustainability by keeping plastics circular, but materials are NOT bio-derived
