Problem
The current linear model of plastic production and disposal leads to significant environmental pollution and resource depletion. Traditional recycling methods often struggle with flexible plastic packaging and multi-layer laminates, resulting in low recycling rates and a reliance on virgin materials. Fraud and lack of transparency in the recycling process further undermine efforts to create a circular economy for plastics.
Solution
Greenback Recycling Technologies offers a decentralized network of modular recycling facilities that utilize advanced chemical recycling technology to process plastic waste, including flexible packaging and multi-layer laminates. Their Enval™ pyrolytic technology converts post-consumer plastic into pyrolysis oil (π-Oil™), a purified recycled raw material suitable for food-grade plastics production. To ensure transparency and prevent greenwashing, Greenback employs its eco2Veritas™ Circularity Platform, which uses AI, image recognition, and blockchain-based smart contracts to provide irrefutable proof of genuine recycling activity. This digital certification process tracks the origins of the oil, enabling businesses to confidently participate in a circular economy.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes petrochemical companies, plastic producers, and consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies seeking sustainable sourcing options and verifiable recycling processes.
