Alterra is Solving Plastic Pollution® through Infinitely Renewed Plastics™ on a global scale with the deployment of its continuous advanced recycling technology. At its Akron, Ohio plant, the company creates economic value from landfill bound plastic, enabling the circular economy and creating a cleaner world by converting discarded plastics into petrochemical materials that can be further refined into new plastic production. The Akron, OH facility utilizes a patented thermochemical liquefaction technology to process 60 tons of waste plastic daily, diverting millions of pounds of plastic from landfills. Alterra's team of engineers, experts, and partners are driven by one purpose: creating a cleaner planet for future generations. Alterra licenses its technology to entities looking to recycle more challenging plastics or seeking more sustainable products. It is partnering with companies in the solid waste industry, government entities, and petrochemical companies. In January 2021, the world’s fourth-most sustainable company, Neste, acquired a minority interest in the company. Neste will collaborate with Alterra to further develop and commercialize Alterra’s technology in Europe and across the world. By globalizing its thermochemical liquefaction process, Alterra is re-imagining a future where society is free from landfilling and incinerating plastic waste.

A big shout out to Jenn Pieper-Klein and the Ohio Chemistry Technology Council team for planning the #EarthDay Clean Up in #Columbus to kick off their Annual Conference. Angela Sot and I were able to participate and divert a portion of the valuable discarded plastics from ending up in the landfill and instead are bringing them back to Alterra where they will be #Inficycled…..https://lnkd.in/ewBmnUCu

Thank you to Casey Shevlin at City of Akron, Ohio and Emma Segedy and Jacqui Flaherty-Ricchiuti at Keep Akron Beautiful for hosting a well-organized #EarthDay clean up in #Akron where over 1,000 pounds of litter was removed from the streets! A special thank you to Mayor Shammas Malik for kicking off the event and being such a positive role model for our community. Much of the discarded plastic that Angela Sot, Elisa Reyes, Michael Lind, and Ron S. collected was NOT landfilled. It was brought back to Alterra's #Inficycling facility to be recycled. We were asked throughout the event, “Can this be recycled?” – Yes it can! #sustainability, #SolvingPlasticPollution

At Alterra, we believe that plastic can be a valuable renewable resource in our economy. Earlier this month, our company president Jeremy DeBenedictis presented at the Council of State Government (CGS) West, along with other key American Chemistry Council members, on the role that advanced recycling plays in increasing plastics recycling, as well as the benefits of plastics. We're excited and determined to engage and educate legislators and consumers about what we do as states continue to mandate new recycling requirements in the coming years. The more we all understand how sustainable and beneficial plastics can be, the better Alterra can continue Solving Plastic Pollution Through Infinitely Renewed Plastics™. #advancedrecycling #circulareconomy #plasticsrecycling #Alterra #SolvingPlasticPollution
Imagine if plastics were infinitely recycled. At Alterra, that’s exactly what we do. Our patented technology has successfully recycled millions of pounds of discarded plastic, and our growth will see the development of new facilities that will help meet the overwhelming demand for sustainable materials. #advancedrecycling #sustainability #Alterra #SolvingPlasticPollution
