Founded in 2008, Pearl River-based Anellotech develops catalytic technologies that turn mixed plastic waste and non-food biomass into the basic chemicals used for plastics and renewable fuels. Its Plas-TCat process is designed to handle hard-to-recycle mixed and multilayer plastics in a single step, while the company’s TCat-8 demonstration plant in Silsbee, Texas has logged more than 1,300 hours of Plas-TCat operation. Anellotech is commercializing these technologies through partners including Technip Energies, Axens, and R Plus Japan.
