At the 2023 FlexPO+ (now incorporated into the ADI Forum), Carlos Badiola, SVP, Engineering, Encina, detailed the company’s efforts to convert diverse mixed plastic waste into basic chemical products, like benzene, at their Pennsylvania facility. With a focus on sustainability and advanced recycling, Encina’s expertise was in understanding various waste qualities. They developed conversion technologies to address the global challenge of mismanaged plastic waste through solids conversion. This approach highlighted the importance of combining sustainability and advanced recycling in tackling environmental challenges.
Encina’s advanced recycling strategy was holistic and imaginative, moving beyond traditional petrochemical feedstocks. Their strategy directly tackled waste from different regions and infrastructures, such as ocean-bound plastics. This demonstrates how their focus on sustainability and advanced recycling can reshape regional waste management practices. Their goal was to establish a circular supply chain by transforming waste into valuable products for customers.
