Solving Plastic Pollution Through Infinitely Renewed Plastics

What if all plastics were recycled? Today, less than 10% are. The other 90% are mismanaged, buried in landfills, sent to incinerators, or even worse, end up in our environment as litter, polluting our land, rivers, and oceans. But imagine if all plastics could be Inficycled™. At Alterra, we convert plastics back into their original building blocks to produce new plastics and other valuable products. We’re disrupting the traditional thinking that hard-to-recycle plastics should be discarded and helping people see that plastics are valuable and designed to become new again. At Alterra we’re Solving Plastic Pollution Through Infinitely Renewed Plastics™.

Our Plant

Learn About the Akron, OH Showcase Facility

At Alterra, we imagined an infinitely renewable plastics economy and created a plastic circularity process to make it happen. We engineered, designed, and built the world’s first truly continuous plastic circularity plant to solve plastic pollution. That’s how we do it in Akron, and now you can too anywhere in the world.
