About
Plastic waste is a worldwide problem that is a significant contributor to climate change.
From the depths of the oceans where lanternfish are mistaking plastic for plankton, researchers are finding that these very fish have the ability to reduce human-caused CO2 emissions in the atmosphere by an estimated 20%-35% by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere to the ocean floor
These fish however are dying from malnutrition which may be able to be prevented if plastic is stopped from entering the ocean and also cleaned from the ocean.
This is where our machines come in to handle the plastic waste before it enters the environment and after it is cleaned from the ocean.
We have completed a 2 year pilot project including ocean derived plastics and are ready to deploy these machines on a commercial basis.
The services we offer are customized consulting to determine best equipment for each clients needs.
As well, we are developing new equipment to address deficiencies identified with current technologies.
