A strategy for global reduction of plastic waste
As incubator, DEEP is engineered to provide a platform for Byfusion; directing regional feasibility studies, marketing, and strategy creation, enabling Byfusion to focus directly on their core strengths of R&D. DEEP also works directly with Byfusion’s clients and local government to ensure the plants meet the needs of the communities that purchase them.
Changing How We Build Globally, total annual plastic waste is over 100 million tons per year. Currently, only a fraction of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is captured globally as a useful material, making plastic waste one of the world"s largest untapped resources. Their are seven type of plastic manufactured world wide; an enormous amount of inexpensive, high quality raw material. Until now, the costs of recycling these plastics (High-density polyethylene, Polyvinyl chloride, Low-density polyethylene, Polypropylene and Polystyrene Polycarbonate) were far to high and complex to establish commercial viability; requiring caustic chemicals, and other environmentally negative demands. Over a decade of research and development has brought about the final step in capturing plastic waste as a reusable resource. We can now recycle all plastics #1-#7 without sorting or the need for caustic chemicals, dramatically reducing costs. Through Byfusion’s patented solution only superheated steam and pressure are used to create useful building block. Our goals are job creation and increasing the life expectancy of the world's landfills through close-to-zero emission plastic down-cycling, as we set new standards for best practices in waste management.DEEP and Byfusion are creating an opportunity to adapt current global standards of use to a positive reduction of collective annual plastic waste. Total capital and sweat equity of over $4,000,000 for Byfusion and DEEP has been invested thus far. Over 1 million homes can be built annually, with anestimated 1.6 billion blocks produced; an efficient, safe and greener solution to the world’s growing construction demands.
