SynPet’s Thermal Conversion Process (TCP®) enables the conversion of mixed plastic waste into a circular naphtha substitute (CNS®), a material that can be further processed within existing petrochemical pathways.
By integrating waste-derived feedstocks into naphtha-based production chains, petrochemical companies can manufacture new plastics without relying solely on virgin fossil resources. These plastics then move through the value chain—shaped by manufacturers, used by consumers, and ultimately re-entering the waste system where they may again be directed toward circular processing routes.
This approach has the potential to reduce dependence on fossil-based raw materials and support a more resource-efficient, circular model for plastics management.
Before SynPet, most waste could not be recycled due to technological inadequacies and high pre-treatment costs. Non-recyclable waste was typically sent to incinerators and landfills.
Incinerators emitted large amounts of carbon dioxide while also contributing to land and water pollution.
SynPet’s technology is designed to process a broad range of organic waste streams without the need for pre-treatment.
Independent assessments conducted during earlier operational studies indicated that TCP® could reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 1.6 tons for every ton of plastics processed, depending on waste composition and system configuration.
Moreover, TCP® technology can support its own energy needs using the gas it produces, and under certain configurations, the system may export excess electricity.
SynPet’s technology is progressing in a manner consistent with broader international carbon-reduction objectives.
The Deloitte EU Taxonomy assessment indicated that SynPet’s revenue streams and activities met the relevant eligibility and alignment criteria for Green Operations within the scope and methodology of the report. This reflects the classification applied to the activities evaluated at that time.
Independent GHG-related studies and third-party assessments have reported that TCP® may enable meaningful reductions in greenhouse gas emissions when compared with certain conventional waste-management and recycling alternatives, depending on waste composition and system configuration.
