Companies that generate a steady volume of plastic waste —so-called captive waste— have a unique opportunity: to recover it on site instead of paying external managers to remove it. Pyrolysis turns that stream into an asset within your own plant.
What is captive waste
It is the plastic waste an industry generates recurrently in its processes: trimmings, production rejects, packaging, films or non-conforming material. Being a stable, known stream, it is ideal for a tailored recovery solution.
The problem of relying on external managers
Outsourcing waste management means rising costs, dependence on third parties and little traceability over the material’s final destination. As landfill costs rise and regulation tightens, that dependence becomes a risk.
Recovering on site with pyrolysis
Installing a pyrolysis solution in the plant itself allows you to treat the waste where it is generated. The advantages are clear:
- Independence: less dependence on external managers and their fees.
- Closed circular economy: waste is turned into resources within the industrial process itself.
- Traceability and ESG: full control over the material’s destination and an auditable sustainability narrative.
- Output value: pyrolysis oil and other products can be monetised.
