SHELL USES PLASTIC WASTE TO PRODUCE CHEMICALS Nov 21, 2019 shell.com Today Shell announced it has successfully made high-end chemicals using a liquid feedstock made from plastic waste. The technique, known as pyrolysis, is considered a breakthrough for hard-to-recycle plastics and advances Shell’s ambition to use one million tonnes of plastic waste a year in its global chemicals plants by 2025. “This makes sense for the environment and our business,” said Thomas Casparie, Executive Vice President of Shell’s global chemicals business. “We want to take waste plastics that are tough to recycle by traditional methods and turn them back into chemicals – creating a circle. These chemicals will meet our customers’ growing demands for high quality and sustainable products.” Atlanta-based Nexus Fuels LLC recently supplied its first cargo of pyrolysis liquid to Shell’s chemical plant in Norco, Louisiana, USA where it was made into chemicals that are the raw materials for everyday items. Shell is working with multiple companies who collect and transform plastic waste in order to scale this solution to industrial and profitable quantities across its chemicals plants - in Asia, Europe and North America. Shell is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW). This not-for-profit organisation is bringing together top minds from across the plastics value chain (chemical and plastic manufacturers, consumer goods companies, retailers, converters and waste management companies) and partnering with the financial community, governments and civil society. The AEPW has committed $1.5 billion over the next five years to help end plastic waste in the environment. Shell is also working with its retail, business fuels and lubricants customers to help reduce, reuse and recycle plastic packaging. shell.com About Us nexus FUELS, LLC is a waste management and energy production company that has developed a commercial-scale process (Nexus Technology) for converting waste plastics into feedstocks for plastics production and fuels, which can be further refined into a full range of products. Nexus can dispose of clean plastics numbered 2 ?(HDPE), 4 ?(LDPE), 5 ?(PP) and 6 ?(PS). Contact Us about recycling your waste plastic or if you would like more details about our products! nexus uses its proprietary Nexus Technology to convert difficult-to-recycle waste plastics into feedstocks and fuels collectively called nexus ENERGY – broad-spectrum feedstocks converted back into virgin plastics (fully circular) and high grade fuels composed of gasoline, kerosene, diesel, heavy oils, and waxes. Nexus technology uses thermal depolymerization (pyrolysis) to break long-chain hydrocarbons into smaller chains. nexus FUELS has perfected the technology to create a highly efficient and economic system providing low-cost, environmentally friendly products for our customers. nexusfuels.com
