The Problem

Our landfills are overflowing with materials we've discarded as worthless.

Billions of tires sit in toxic stockpiles.

Trillions of pieces of plastic choke our oceans.

Millions of tons of biomass are left to rot.

The Solution

Our solution is pyrolysis: a universal thermal conversion process.

At Divergent Recycling, we see this as a colossal market opportunity.

Our flexible pyrolysis platform allows us to treat these diverse liabilities as valuable feedstocks, creating a true circular economy and ending our reliance on the linear "take, make, dispose" model.

The Process

Tire Pyrolysis Oil, Plastic Pyrolysis Oil, Bio Oil

Tires discarded on a grassy hillside with green trees in the background.

By heating materials in a sealed, oxygen-free environment, we can break down complex waste streams into their valuable molecular components.

No incineration, no burning—just clean, efficient decomposition.

Our platform is feedstock-flexible, allowing us to pivot based on local waste challenges and market demand.
