Who we are
Divergent Recycling, Inc. is an innovative startup primed at helping local landowners, businesses, and governments use pyrolysis to solve waste problems. Our diverse global team works to improve waste management and help industries become more eco-friendly by integrating this technology into existing systems. We aim to add pyrolysis to support a circular economy, use resources more efficiently, save landfills, handle future waste growth, and clean up piles of trash left from past generations.
The old idea of “Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.” hasn’t stopped plastic and tire waste from growing. Between 2025 and 2050, this waste is expected to rise by over 30%. There are about 4 billion used tires stored worldwide, with 1 billion more added every year. As populations continue to increase, many communities face issues like illegal dumping, oil and gas waste, tire disposal problems, storm debris, and local landfill problems. Pyrolysis can help reduce or even solve many of these challenges.
At Divergent Recycling, our goal has been to be a push towards positive change. This technology is ancient, but its applications could present widespread impact for future generations. Our team comes from all corners of the world. From the United States all the way to Australia and Singapore, we're a mix of generations, with different careers and life stories as diverse as you can imagine. However, each of us knows that this waste problem goes beyond all of our differences. It's bigger than politics, bigger than country borders, bigger than generational differences- too big to do alone. We know humanity can do better, and we know that it will take all of us working together to genuinely make a change.
