Resynergi, Lummus Technology launch modular plastic recycling solution

Resynergi, a Rohnert Park, California-based advanced plastic recycling technology developer, has announced the commercial offering of its proprietary Resynergi Modules, which are supplied, serviced and warrantied by innovation partner Lummus Technology, Houston.

Resynergi's technology aims to make it easier for material recovery facilities (MRFs) and petrochemical companies to recycle plastic.

The Resynergi Modules use the Continuous Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis (CMAP) technology engineered by Lummus, which Resynergi says offers a decentralized, cost-effective solution to plastic recycling by converting plastic into pyrolysis oil.

“The world can’t wait for large factories and recycling facilities to come online to process our mounting plastic waste crisis,” Resynergi CEO Brian Bauer says. “The commercial offering of our Resynergi Modules is a crucial milestone in the viability, speed and impact of a circular future for plastic. We’re proud to have Lummus Technology as our trusted partner to bring our Resynergi Modules to market and make advanced recycling not only possible and profitable but friendly, safe and clean for local municipalities.”

“This milestone demonstrates how Lummus and Resynergi are advancing the circular economy with their decentralized solution which makes it easier and faster to transform plastic waste into valuable resources,” Lummus Technology President and CEO Leon de Bruyn says. “Now that the technology is available, we can work with customers to integrate this advanced solution into existing infrastructure, helping close the loop on plastic waste and drive sustainability in our industry."

The Resynergi Module is engineered to convert 5 tons per day of discarded plastic into pyrolysis oil, a product that can be processed by refiners and petrochemical companies to produce circular polymers.

The company says the technology’s modular design allows for rapid deployment and scalability, while offering a compact footprint. The Resynergi CMAP Modules generate products with up to 68 percent CO₂ reduction versus conventional polymer production, according to Resynergi.

By leveraging software from Lummus Digital, the modules can integrate data collection, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), while also monitoring installations, the company says. Available features include real-time data access, enterprise optimization and interactive dashboards.
