Recycling is responsible. It’s also frustrating, considering that most often, plastic bottles that were conscientiously collected and sorted were eventually crushed, shredded and fed into an incinerator or dumped into a landfill.

For purposes of scale, compared with the honorable efforts of others to reclaim ocean plastic, we have the capacity and capability to do in a week what has taken them five years.

And here’s where the rubber really meets the road – tires. In the United States alone, more than 280 million of them are thrown away every year, with no viable solution for repurposing them.

At Circon®, every one of those tires, plus single-use plastics and even organic waste such as wood and cardboard can serve as feedstock in our Carbon Refinery™.
