Come check out our community oriented solution to a big chunk of the plastic waste problem, which is inundating the globe at an exponentially growing rate. Our reactor, lovingly dubbed the Niblerator, was originally made by a former undergraduate student in 2019. Since then we've been fine tuning our run parameters to consistently produce a diesel-like fuel from polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (HDPE,LDPE,LLDPE). Now that our process has been fine tuned, we're in the middle of scaling up our reactor to better service coastal and agricultural communities across the globe.
