Turning Trash Into Treasure

Instead of plastic ending up in landfills and littering our environment we convert it back into its molecular building blocks. Hard-to-recycle plastic waste goes in, valuable feedstock for new plastic products comes out. Using microwaves for heat, we keep the surrounding air, water, and ground clean. Our regeneration technology can be operated safely in the same neighborhoods where cities sort their recycling.

Manufacturing and Production Partner

Our manufacturing and production partner is Lummus, a global leader in the development and implementation of process technologies and a staple of the petrochemical industry since 1907

Our Proven Solution is Modular

We have decentralized advanced recycling. No factory or facility required = fast, low risk deployment.

We bring our patented modular system to the plastic waste via an 18-wheeler truck. Our Continuous Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis (CMAP) technology is purpose-built to scale with local communities and their Material Recovery Facilities.

Reimagining Plastic as an Alternative to Oil

Plastic waste isn’t going away. It’s predicted to increase by 70% by 2050. That’s why our approach matters. Instead of relying on fossil fuels to create plastic, we’re aiming to make ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ a profitable business. Let’s build a system where materials never become waste and nature is regenerated.

Get in touch

Let’s change the way the world views plastic waste, from major polluter to reusable resource. It’s time to invest in circular alternatives to petroleum-based plastics.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Why did Resynergi choose SOMO Village for its headquarters?

Resynergi’s core values align with SOMO’s core values:

  • Environmental responsibility
  • Climate-tech innovation
  • Community-based job creation

We have installed a small scale 5 ton per day demonstration plant here, adjacent to our executive offices, as a destination to show how future sites can operate safely and efficiently. Being located in the heart of Northern California’s sustainable tech corridor, SOMO Village provides the ideal ecosystem for building our worldwide headquarters.

What is the purpose of Resynergi’s SOMO location?

Resynergi’s SOMO Village location has been designed for purposes of demonstrating our method of converting plastic into oil, which is a new, cutting-edge technology. We will welcome our target customers to visit our site, see our module in action, and work to place scalable modules where they can do the most good.

What is Accelerated Microwave Pyrolysis (AMP), and is it safe?

AMP is Resynergi’s patented plastic-recycling technology. It is generally accepted in industry as safe. It does not involve household microwaves or open flames. It’s a closed, oxygen-free system where plastic is thermally decomposed using indirect heat. The process harnesses microwave energy to reduce plastic back down to base molecules. There is NO combustion involved — meaning it involves no fire, no smoke, and no incineration.

During the development phase at our SOMO Village location, which ran from 2021 to 2024, Resynergi logged over 10,000 hours of clean, safe, incident-free operation.

How does it work?

We shred hard to recycle plastic into pellets. The pellets travel through a tube to Resynergi’s patented AMP. The system uses microwaves to heat the plastic in an oxygen-free environment so there’s no combustion, no burning, and no incineration. The plastic is broken down into short hydrocarbon molecules that we condense into liquid oil.

In just seconds, 70% of the plastic becomes oil. Nothing goes to waste! Natural gas captured in the process powers our operation through cogeneration, so we don’t have to pull electricity from the grid.

What is AMP’s anticipated impact on the environment, especially the local environment?

It’s a closed loop system. It reuses or recycles more than 99% of what it processes.

  • It is energy efficient using the energy generated from the process itself to power operations, lowering external energy demands.
  • Creates a self-sustaining energy loop, reducing carbon footprint by 68%.
  • Uses less than 10 gallons of water a year, and discharges no wastewater.
  • Emits fewer VOCs (volatile organic compounds) than an average passenger car, thanks to our best-in-class Questor thermal oxidizer.
  • Breaks down dangerous chemicals, like PFAs (polyfluoroalkyl substances or “forever chemicals”), which might otherwise leach into the water table if left in a landfill.
  • Due to its small size, the AMP Module contains less flammable gas than the typical propane canister used for a home grill.
Will Resynergi incinerate the plastic?

No.

How much smoke will be let out into the environment?

None.

Will there be any open flames?

No.

How much hazardous waste will be produced?

None – no waste at all.

Why did the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) notify schools and neighbors if the AMP system is safe?

The BAAQMD is following its standard permitting process, which includes notifying nearby schools and residents about any proposed equipment that requires an air quality permit. This process is designed to ensure transparency and allow for public input, not to signal a concern.

Resynergi has been working with BAAQMD since December 2024 to meet the strictest environmental and safety standards, and welcomes the opportunity for community review. The 30-day public comment period is a normal part of permitting and gives neighbors a chance to ask questions and learn more. We support this process as an important part of building trust and maintaining accountability.

What are some of Resynergi’s safety features?

Resynergi is working with regulatory bodies to ensure we comply with all of California’s environmental and fire codes.Each AMP unit includes 100s of sensors that continuously monitor pressure, flow, temperature, and air quality. If any reading approaches safety limits, the system shuts down immediately.

The AMP system will commence operations after ensuring:

  • Compliance with California’s BAAQMD environmental codes
  • Approval from the Rohnert Park Fire Department
  • Administrative permit issued by the City of Rohnert Park
  • Continuous data reporting from every unit to a centralized monitoring system
  • Intertek, a nationally recognized testing lab, has certified the entire AMP module as a single, safety-assured system
  • Spill Prevention Program is implemented by certified Professional Engineer
Will SOMO or Resynergi be constructing a new building to house Resynergi’s AMP Units?

No. Our technology is 40’ L x 8’ W x 9.5’ H, made to travel on the back of a truck. We only have one module on site. It is already installed. It’s small enough to fit in a three-car garage.

How many trucks will Resynergi bring to SOMO?

Twice a week, a truck will drop off otherwise unrecyclable plastic waste. After the plastic waste is fed through our processor, one truck will haul away 5,000 gallons of oil each week.

What local benefits has Resynergi brought?

Resynergi has created 24+ local jobs and plans to expand an executive presence to attract Climate Tech talent to the area as we build out our worldwide headquarters. Resynergi supports economic development, innovation, and sustainability in Rohnert Park and throughout the region.
