Revolutionizing Plastic Decontamination: A Green Chemical for Enhanced Cleaning

Over
Global plastic recycling is hindered by ineffective decontamination. Traditional processes require high heat and large chemical volumes to tackle odors and biofilms, making them energy-intensive and costly.
We propose implementing FerSol, a proprietary oxidant-based detergent, to disrupt this paradigm. Proven in initial tests to wash at ambient temperature with far less chemical, FerSol significantly lowers energy use and costs. Early results are highly promising, demonstrating lower odor in r-PO flakes and less yellowing in PET. While further development is ongoing, this technology represents a breakthrough in producing higher-quality recycled polymer more sustainably.
