Problem
Less than 10% of manufactured plastic is recycled annually, leading to significant accumulation in landfills and oceans, disrupting ecosystems. The plastics sector is projected to account for 20% of total oil consumption by 2050, becoming a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.
Solution
Freepoint Eco-Systems addresses plastic waste by employing advanced recycling technology to convert traditionally non-recyclable plastics into reusable products. Their systems utilize pyrolysis to break down plastic waste, reducing the volume of plastic sent to landfills and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. This process decreases the reliance on virgin fossil fuels for new plastic production, supporting a circular economy and a more sustainable future. Each recycling facility aims to process millions of pounds of waste plastic annually, reducing the need for landfill disposal and creating new plastic from recycled materials.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes municipalities, waste management companies, and businesses seeking sustainable solutions for plastic waste reduction and a transition to a circular economy.
