How it works

A person or a waste company brings plastic to a licensed, container-sized machine. When the load is enough, and the operator accepts it, the payment is diesel.

Some of the diesel stays to keep the machine running. That is how the running cost stays low. PyroLife pays for the machine. The gathering is the local work.

What the machine cannot use, and the waste it leaves, is serviced and taken away. Dirty loads and plastic the operator refuses do not earn diesel.

No litres-per-kilo rate is published. None has been measured on a PyroLife machine, because none is sited yet. Fuel from plastic is not automatically fuel for a road vehicle.
