Advanced Recycling Centers
Not all plastic waste is suited for traditional Mechanical Recycling. Many waste streams consist of dirty, contaminated, and co-mingled plastics that are typically discarded, incinerated, landfilled or worse—exported to developing nations due to their complexity. PDO Technologies' Advanced Recycling Centers (ARCs) change that by converting these challenging materials into an ISCC+ certified Circular Polymer Feedstock™ (CPF™)—a high-value resource used by leading petrochemical companies to produce new, food-grade plastics that meet safety and regulatory standards.
​
This is made possible through the use of Advanced Recycling Feedstock™ (ARF™)—a specialized mixture of non-recyclable plastic waste produced at PDO’s Mechanical Recycling Centers (MRCs). ARF™ is uniquely engineered to meet Advanced Recycling system requirements, increasing plastic recovery and serving as an optimal input for PDO’s and other Advanced Recycling processes.
At the heart of our Advanced Recycling operations is the PDO Technologies G225 System, built on 25 years of research, development, and commercial success. Earlier generations converted millions of pounds of waste plastic into high-value synthetic pyrolysis oil, supplying the U.S. refinery market. Today, the PDO G225 system is refined and optimized to efficiently transforms ARF™ and other diverse plastic waste streams into a sought-after Circular Polymer Feedstock™ (CPF™), accelerating the transition to a sustainable, circular economy.
The PDO G225 System is designed to be deployed where waste is generated, rather than transporting waste to a centralized solution—a flawed approach many others attempt. The G225 system is scalable and efficient, profitably processing 25 tons (50,000 pounds) of plastic waste per day, with the ability to expand up to 100 tons per day by daisy-chaining multiple G225 units. Simple, scalable, and ready for deployment, the system is built to meet the unique demands of any location.
PDO Technologies, leveraging its proprietary Advanced Recycling System, has successfully produced, sold, and delivered ISCC+ certified Circular Polymer Feedstock™ (CPF™) from our Brooks, Oregon Advanced Recycling Center (ARC) to a major U.S. petrochemical company under contract. Derived from Advanced Recycling Feedstock™ (ARF™), this high-value CPF™ serves as a critical input in their North American refinery, enabling the production of new, virgin-grade plastics.
