Microplastic Purge Ltd. - our example company
Last update: 05.2024
About us
Microplastic Purge Ltd. builds & produces micro-plastics filtration sites, that are placed into the ocean to collect small particle-size plastic waste. Out of the waste collected 20% are recyclable to pellets that are sold to diverse industry segments, replacing the use of "fresh" oil for plastic production. The other 80% will be thermally used in e-power plants, replacing the use of fossil fuel for power generation.

20% of the micro-plastics we collect are recycled into pellets which are sold to manufacturers of plastic-based packagings. This in turn substitutes the use of new plastic made out of "fresh" fossil oil.

The footprint contains the amount of GHG (CO2) for production & operation of the filtration sites, as well as the CO2 emitted by using the unrecyclable parts of the plastic waste for burning it in e-power plants. The latter take into account that here waste is burned instead of "fresh" fossil fuel.
