Vadxx joins Plastics-to-Fuel and Petrochemistry Alliance

Ohio company plans to start up a commercial pyrolysis facility soon.


The Plastics-to-Fuel and Petrochemistry Alliance (PFPA) of the American Chemistry Council, Washington, has announced Vadxx Energy will become its newest member. Cleveland-based Vadxx—which plans to start up its first commercial facility in Akron, Ohio, in the coming months—joins Agilyx, Cynar Plc and RES Polyflow as the alliance’s core member technology providers.

“Vadxx is excited to join the Alliance in its work to educate policymakers, communities and others about the important benefits of these new technologies,” says Vadxx CEO Jim Garrett. “In addition to creating valuable fuels and chemical feedstocks, plastics-to-fuel technologies can help divert nonrecycled plastics from landfills and lower greenhouse gas emissions.”

Formerly, the Plastics-to-Oil Technologies Alliance, the PFPA says it recently modified its name to reflect the wide range of versatile technologies and products offered by its membership. These include liquid fuels, such as diesel and naphtha; crude oil for conversion to fuels or chemicals; and waxes, lubes and other valuable products.


Since forming in 2014, the group also has been joined by three associate members, Sealed Air, Americas Styrenics and Tetra Tech.

SENNEBOGEN 340G telehandler improves the view in Macon County, NC

An elevated cab is one of several features improving operational efficiency at the Macon County Solid Waste Management agency in North Carolina. When it comes to waste management, efficiency, safety and reliability are priorities driving decisions from day one, according to staff members of the Macon County Solid Waste Management Department in western North Carolina. The agency operates a recycling plant in a facility originally designed to bale incoming materials. More recently, the building has undergone significant transformations centered around one machine: a SENNEBOGEN telehandler (telescopic handler).

“More businesses, governments and communities are looking to value creation as a new paradigm for managing postuse materials,” says Michael Dungan, chairman of the PFPA and director of sales and marketing for RES Polyflow. “The diverse and expanding group of technologies available to convert nonrecycled plastics into fuels and other valuable products provides a range of solutions to help communities sustainably manage more of their post-use resources.”
