Chemical recycling breaks plastic down to its molecular building blocks, while mechanical recycling melts and remolds plastics into shapes. They are complementary — chemical recycling can process streams that mechanical recycling can't, such as plastic with food or paper contamination, mixed plastics, and a variety of plastic types that simply can't be mechanically recycled.

The AMP is designed with multiple safety controls, continuous monitoring and automated systems to protect operators and surrounding communities.

Resynergi's Advanced Microwave Pyrolysis (AMP) technology solves two core challenges in plastic recycling: efficiency and scale. Much of today's plastic waste goes unrecycled because transporting, sorting, and processing hard-to-recycle plastics at large, centralized facilities is cost-prohibitive. AMP Modules are compact and portable, enabling processing closer to where waste is generated — significantly reducing logistics costs and associated carbon emissions by more than 50%. Our modular design also makes advanced recycling accessible at any scale, from 5 tons per day up to 50 TPD and beyond.

Permitting requirements vary by jurisdiction and typically include air quality, environmental safety, building use, zoning compliance, fire safety and other operational approvals. Resynergi works closely with regulators to ensure compliance.

Resynergi's patented pyrolysis technology is an oxygen-free system where plastic is thermally decomposed using heat. The process harnesses microwave energy to deconstruct long plastic polymers back down to basic hydrocarbon molecules. Unlike burning or incineration, pyrolysis means no fire and no smoke.

The system is designed to meet or exceed applicable local, state and federal environmental regulations, with emissions and performance continually monitored. Resynergi AMP Modules are purpose-built to be clean and safe enough to run inside city limits, as zoning permits.

Pyrolysis has existed for decades, but advances in engineering, controls, and emissions management have now made modern pyrolysis safe, clean, reliable, and cost-effective. Resynergi is part of this new wave with a key difference: instead of building large, centralized facilities, our AMP Modules are designed to go where the waste is — enabling faster deployment, reducing transportation impacts, and allowing the system to operate in a way that is friendly, safe and clean for the communities we serve.

Resynergi conducts extensive testing, monitoring, and validation to meet the requirements of permitting authorities wherever our systems are deployed. The AMP system has been safety confirmed by an OSHA-approved NRTL. Intertek conducted a comprehensive field evaluation and the system meets Class 1/Division 2 explosion location standards. PM2 Global Services rated the AMP system as low risk to people and property. Independent third-party process testing confirms the system meets strict safety, compliance, and performance standards.

Resynergi shreds hard-to-recycle plastic into pieces. The pieces travel through a tube to Resynergi's patented AMP System. The system uses microwaves to heat the plastic in an oxygen-free environment — no burning, no smoke. The plastic is broken down into short hydrocarbon molecules that are condensed into liquid oil called PyOil, which can be used as valuable feedstock for new plastic products.

The modular design supports high uptime, redundancy and ease of maintenance, enabling consistent and reliable operations.

Yes. By diverting plastics from landfills and the environment, Resynergi reduces the formation of microplastics and breaks down harmful compounds such as PFAs that could otherwise leach into our soil and water.

A typical Resynergi site with four AMP modules qualifies as a "minor source" entity under U.S. EPA air permitting standards, reflecting very low emissions levels. Total emissions from such a site are significantly lower than many everyday commercial operations, including a typical drive-through restaurant. Sites are regulated locally and federally to meet strict air quality, fire safety, operations efficiency, occupational safety, material safety, and environmental protection standards, with many regular inspections and audits to ensure continued compliance.

Burying plastic in a landfill can seem like the lower-carbon option because the material and carbon simply stays underground. But landfilling doesn't reduce our need for new oil — manufacturers still have to extract and refine fresh fossil fuels to make new products. Resynergi's process gives existing plastic a second life by turning it back into a usable oil that can replace new fossil feedstocks. Resynergi's solution prevents plastic from entering landfills while generating clean PyOil with a much lower carbon intensity than extracting oil from deep underground.

No. Resynergi's process is energy efficient and largely self-powered, using energy generated during the process itself to sustain operations. It also provides a net energy and carbon benefit compared to producing new plastic from virgin fossil resources.

Not true. PyOil produced by Resynergi is sold into established petrochemical supply chains where it is used as a circular feedstock for new plastic production. Resynergi uses accepted mass balance accounting methods and downstream partner verification, providing transparency and confidence that the material re-enters the plastics value chain.

Resynergi AMPs are modular, scalable and portable by design. Four AMPs together form a single module that can be transported in a standard flatbed truck. This flexibility allows modules to be deployed directly where plastic waste is generated.

The system is self-contained and requires limited supporting infrastructure, making it adaptable to industrial sites, waste facilities or remote locations.

Resynergi AMPs are modular and largely self-contained, allowing for flexible placement at industrial and waste management sites. Typical siting requirements include a prepared pad or foundation, feedstock access and standard industrial utilities. External power and water needs are minimal, and the system discharges no wastewater.

Resynergi AMP Modules are designed to process hard-to-recycle post-consumer plastics that are typically landfilled or incinerated. This includes mixed, colored, contaminated and multi-layer plastics — such as films, pouches, and packaging — that are not well suited for traditional mechanical recycling.

Each Resynergi AMP is designed to process approximately 5 tons of hard-to-recycle plastics per day. AMPs are modular by design, allowing multiple units to operate together as a system to increase throughput efficiency without the need for a large centralized processing facility.

All Resynergi PyOil is stored in industry standard tanks designed to exceed even the strictest local safety standards. Secondary containment, leak prevention and detection, pressure control, gas purging, and other fire prevention systems are used for multi-layered safety assurance. By law, a third-party engineered stamped Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure program is required, recertified every 5 years and updated whenever there is a change in the system.

The Resynergi AMP produces consistent, high-quality PyOil suitable for industrial reuse and meets defined specifications to be used as feedstock to create new plastic, including food-grade consumer products and packaging.

Resynergi's customers are leaders across the plastics value chain — including petrochemical producers, polymer manufacturers, and refining partners — seeking scalable, circular alternatives to virgin fossil-based feedstocks. The PyOil produced by Resynergi is used as a drop-in circular feedstock to make new plastics and other useful products, helping customers reduce reliance on virgin materials and lower the overall carbon footprint of their supply chains.

Economic performance is influenced by feedstock availability, energy recovery, avoided disposal costs and the value of recovered outputs — making it a flexible solution across markets.
