San Francisco–based waste and energy development company Brightmark has launched a nationwide search for suitable locations for its next set of advanced recycling facilities, which will convert hundreds of thousands of tons of post-consumer plastics into new products, including fuel and wax.
approxim Brightmark愿投资ately $500 million to $1 billion at each site location and plans to create more than 100 jobs in each host community. Significant additional indirect economic activity is anticipated to occur in each chosen community as a result of the projects. The company’s plastics renewal technology takes single-stream, mixed post-consumer plastics and converts them into ultra-low sulfur diesel, naphtha and wax. The process is also capable of creating the building blocks for new plastics, thus enabling a circular economy in the plastics industry, the company explained.
首席执行官鲍勃·鲍威尔（Bob Powell）解释说：“美国正面临重大的塑料回收短缺。”“想象一个没有塑料废物的世界。我们已经有一个可靠的，可以进行市场准备就绪的解决方案，我们将在全国范围内扩展以满足这一需求。社区正在用大量受污染的塑料苦苦挣扎，其中大部分最终都涉及焚化炉或垃圾填埋场。我们有一个可行的，有利可图的替代方案，可以解决与塑料回收有关的许多挑战。”
Brightmark is currently completing construction of a $260-million plastics renewal facility in northeast Indiana, which will accept 100,000 tons of plastics each year for conversion into new products. The plant is expected to begin producing fuels and wax in Q2 2020 and will be operating at full capacity by Q4 2020. The feedstock for the Ashley, IN, plastics renewal facility will be sourced from Indiana and the Chicago metro area.
Brightmark首席开发官Zeina El-Azzi说：“我们的团队已经成功地开发了电力和能源工厂，我们已经准备好在下一个塑料转换站点上大放异彩。”“我们与印第安纳州斯图本县的人们建立了巨大的伙伴关系，现在我们正在寻找其他社区，在那里我们可以扎根并携手合作，以扩大当地的回收基础设施并创造就业机会。”
对亮点更新设施感兴趣的社区必须通过激励措施和改进的塑料回收计划为产品开发提供强大的本地，地区和州的支持；每年至少有200,000吨共汇合塑料废物（一到七型）；进入30至100英亩的合适土地，可享受轨道和高速公路的良好通道；以及天然气和电力支持。其他标准将在即将提出的提案请求中详细介绍。Brightmark预计将在第2季度2020年第2季度完成其现场选择。
