Our production model entails recovery of waste plastic and rubber from Municipal Solid Waste, its preparation into raw material feedstock and processing at our thermo-chemical conversion plant factory.
The conversion process yields pyrolysis oil, char and syngas; the oils are rectified using vacuum distillation and additive treatment into commercial gasoline and diesel fuels, while the char undergoes particle-reduction processing to form technical-grade carbon black chemical.
We shall sell our product through existing distribution chains, through web selling and also through direct selling to adjacent manufacturing and select service markets.
Our pricing strategy is a a combination of market pricing and competition pricing.
Our market includes Rubber Manufacturing Companies, Plastic Manufacturing Companies, Ink Manufacturing Compaies, Industrial and Commercial Boiler Ooperators.
Petroleum importing and marketing companies comprise of the five majors namely Shell, Total, Kenol/Kobil, Oil Libya and the Government owned National Oil Corporation of Kenya (NOCK) and a growing number of independent oil distribution companies.
