Background
Project Name
Clean Planet Energy (CPE) is a renewable and alternative energy company, converting non-recyclable plastic waste into ultra-clean commercial grade fuels with negligible sulphur and nitrous oxide content and low CO2 emissions. CPE’s mission is to continuously devise and implement sustainable technology that will prevent toxic plastic waste from damaging the earth’s environment and oceans, while reducing the demand for dirty-diesel, as well as diverting tens of thousands of tonnes of plastic waste annually away from landfills, incinerations, and oceans.
Environment
For the above purposes, CPE are developing a series of environmentally-friendly ecoPlants, designed and engineered to take any waste plastic feedstock and, through various chemical processes, convert into ultra-clean ultra-low sulphur circular fuels and petrochemical feedstocks.
