CarbonM Fuelmax
Landfill-bound plastic waste — the untapped carbon resource
Circular Fuel from Non-Recyclable Plastic

Where others see landfill-bound plastic, we see circular carbon.

CarbonM Fuelmax converts non-recyclable plastic waste into circular fuel/feedstock for ships and heavy industry using Oleum V1 and Alkanalyze.

The Problem

Plastic waste is not just a disposal problem. It is a carbon resource in the wrong place.

Massive volumes of mixed, non-recyclable plastic waste end up in landfills or low-value disposal routes every year. This material — too contaminated, mixed, or complex for mechanical recycling — represents both an environmental liability and an untapped resource.

The carbon locked inside these plastics is the same carbon that powers ships, factories, and industrial infrastructure. We built CarbonM Fuelmax to recover it.

The Transformation

From landfill liability to industrial circularity.

Our integrated system transforms non-recyclable plastic waste through a six-stage process — from collection to industrial application.

Step 1

Landfill-Bound Waste

Non-recyclable mixed plastic waste collected from landfill and disposal routes.

Step 2

Feedstock Preparation

Quality mapping, sorting, and preparation of plastic feedstock for conversion.

Step 3

Oleum V1 Conversion

Continuous thermal conversion of difficult plastic waste into circular fuel/feedstock.

Step 4

Alkanalyze Intelligence

Real-time monitoring, quality prediction, and reactor optimization via ML.

Step 5

Circular Fuel Output

Consistent circular fuel/feedstock meeting industrial blending specifications.

Step 6

Marine & Industry

Powering ships, heavy industry, and cement plants with circular fuel.

Our Technology

One platform. Two intelligence layers. Consistent circular fuel.

Oleum V1 converts. Alkanalyze optimizes. Together they deliver the consistency that makes circular fuel industrially viable.
