The carbon is already there
Landfill-bound plastic is often seen only as waste. But chemically, much of it is a hydrocarbon resource that has already been extracted, refined, polymerized, transported and consumed.
The challenge is not that the material has no value. The challenge is that mixed plastic waste is variable, contaminated and operationally difficult. Mechanical recycling works for clean streams, but many real-world waste streams are too complex for that route.
Why this matters for industry
Ships, boilers, furnaces and heavy industrial systems still need dense liquid energy. A circular fuel/feedstock pathway can recover carbon from waste streams while reducing dependence on virgin fossil inputs, subject to quality validation and partner-specific blending requirements.
CarbonM's approach
CarbonM combines Oleum V1 conversion with Alkanalyze process intelligence. The goal is not only to make a fuel-like output, but to make the process measurable, traceable and repeatable enough for industrial partners.
