Alterra Energy

Alterra Energy is solving the plastic pollution epidemic on a global scale with the deployment of its continuous advanced recycling technology. At its Akron, Ohio plant, the company creates economic value from waste plastic, enabling the circular economy and creating a cleaner world by converting hard-to-treat, end-of-life plastics into petrochemical materials that can be further refined into new plastic production, waxes and fuels. Alterra Energy utilizes a patented thermochemical liquefaction technology to process 60 tons of waste plastic daily, diverting millions of pounds of plastic waste from landfills. Its team of engineers, experts and partners are driven by one purpose: creating a cleaner planet for future generations. Alterra Energy licenses its technology to entities looking to recycle more challenging plastics or seeking more sustainable products. It is partnering with companies in the solid waste industry, government entities and petrochemical companies. In January 2021, the world’s fourth-most sustainable company, Neste, acquired a minority interest in the company. Neste will collaborate with Alterra Energy to further develop and commercialize Alterra’s technology in Europe and across the world. By globalizing its thermochemical liquefaction process, Alterra Energy is re-imagining a future where society is free from landfilling and incinerating plastic waste, unlocking the full potential of the continuous use of the synthetic. Alterra solves the plastics pollution challenge.
