Plastic Pollution Challenge
Ocean plastics have become a global crisis which the world is now facing. Current recycling processes are extremely inefficient as most contaminated ocean plastics are just not suitable for mechanical recycling plants. The world needs to be looking to hydrogen as a fuel of the future, but this has been expensive and difficult to manufacture… until now! Chemical recycling is a new field, seldom explored, which can turn plastics that are not fit for mechanical recycling into high value raw materials. Our OPP Plastic to Fuel (PTF) solutions ensure 100% emission capture unlike current plastic to fuel solutions on the market. OPP will tackle the plastic pollution crisis with the OPP Plastic to Fuel (PTF) unit. This unit will convert collected ocean plastics into 3 key resources: Low-sulfur fuel, Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) and most valuable Hydrogen gas. It will be a game-changer as it is the final step towards closing the loop in all plastic recycling.
Ocean Purpose Project proposes the PTF (Plastic to Fuel) which converts ocean plastics using a combination of technology from top universities, designed for waste collected from coastlines to create high profit products such as Hydrogen which can power e-vehicles for a future Mandalaika E-GP and Carbon Nanotubes which can be used to make smartphones and expensive materials. We can integrate with existing Plastic to Fuel factories in Lombok or deploy our signature OPP PTF unit in a 40-foot container, over land or sea to any community facing ocean plastic pollution.
Solution
OPP’s plastic collection in Pasir Ris is sent to our research partners in West Singapore, NTU NEWRI (Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute) and several prototypes have been successfully developed to turn ocean plastics into low sulphur fuel following IMO2020 regulations, high value carbon nanotubes, and Hydrogen-enriched gas.
Ocean Purpose Project recently held the Race for Oceans event, participating among 50 countries for UN SDG 14: Life Below Water to kayak and collect plastic waste. The ocean plastics were sent to the PTF machines in November 2021 and the results were as follows: From 1 kg of plastics, around 120g of Carbon nanotubes are produced with a hydrogen mass of 18g. At a larger scale the numbers get even higher. Imagine the positive impact our solution could have on polluted coastlines and landfills by turning waste into highly valuable products.
