基于旧金山的废物和能源开发公司Brighmark已在全国范围内为其下一套高级回收设施推出了合适的位置，该设施将转换成数十万吨的后消费后塑料变成新产品，包括燃料和蜡。
Brightmark预计，每个站点地点的投资将大约5亿至10亿美元，并计划在每个房东社区中创造100多个工作岗位。这些项目预计将在每个选择的社区中发生重大的间接经济活动。该公司的塑料更新技术采用单流，混合了消费后塑料，并将其转换为超低硫柴油，Naphtha和Wax。该公司解释说，该过程还能够为新塑料创建基本块，从而使塑料行业的循环经济实现。
“The United States is facing a major plastics recycling shortfall,” explained CEO Bob Powell. “Imagine a world without plastic waste. We’ve got a proven, market-ready solution, which we will be scaling up nationally to meet this demand. Communities are struggling with a deluge of contaminated plastics, much of which ends up in incinerators or landfills. We have a viable, profitable alternative that solves many of the challenges historically associated with plastics recycling.”
Brighmark目前正在印第安纳州东北部建设26000万美元的塑料更新设施，该设施每年将接受100,000吨塑料以转换为新产品。预计该工厂将在2020年期开始生产燃料和蜡，并在2020年第四季度全部运营。印第安纳州阿什利的原料，塑料更新设施将来自印第安纳州和芝加哥都会区。
“Our team has successfully developed power and energy plants, and we’re ready to go big on our next plastic conversion sites,” said Zeina El-Azzi, Chief Development Officer of Brightmark. “We’ve built a tremendous partnership with the folks in Steuben County, IN, and we’re now searching for other communities where we can put down roots and work hand-in-hand to expand local recycling infrastructure and create jobs.”
Communities interested in a Brightmark renewal facility must provide strong local, regional and state support for the product development through incentives and improved plastic recycling programs; access to at least 200,000 tons per year of co-mingled plastic waste (types one to seven); access to 30 to 100 acres of suitable land with excellent access to rail and highways; and natural gas and electric utility support. Other criteria will be detailed in a forthcoming request for proposal. Brightmark anticipates completing its site selection by Q2 2020.
