Oregon Leads the Way Again
admin on June 19th, 2009
What if we could break down plastics to their basic components and recapture the petroleum so that it can be reused, also keeping the petroleum from entering the waste stream?
Once again an Oregon based recycler is on the cutting edge of technology and sustainable entrepreneurism. Agri-Plas, a company headquartered in Brooks, Oregon, has perfected a revolutionary process to convert traditionally unrecyclable agricultural plastics into crude oil which is then shipped to refineries and ultimately used as fuel. The first tanker delivery went out recently to a Tacoma refinery with 8200 gallons of crude (roughly 196 barrels). When the process is completely implemented they estimate that they will be able to ship one of the tankers full of reclaimed crude every day. Our hats are off to Agri-Plas for leading the way to a cleaner and greener tomorrow.
