Hard-to-Recycle Materials
Many waste streams—composite plastics, contaminated materials, mixed polymers, and residuals—cannot be economically or technically recycled through conventional methods.
Carbon Neutral designs infrastructure solutions that create viable end-of-life pathways for these materials, converting waste liabilities into regulated, operational assets.
Strategic direction grounded in material reality
Every hard-to-recycle material presents a different challenge—driven by chemistry, contamination, volume, location, and regulatory context. We begin by understanding the material itself, then design infrastructure strategies that align technology, permitting, financing, and long-term operation.
Our role is to define viable pathways forward—where others see stranded waste.

Advanced thermal conversion as infrastructure
For many hard-to-recycle materials, advanced thermal conversion technologies—such as pyrolysis—offer a viable pathway where mechanical recycling fails.
Carbon Neutral evaluates pyrolysis not as a standalone technology, but as part of an integrated infrastructure system. This includes feedstock qualification, emissions control, permitting strategy, offtake alignment, and long-term operational reliability.
We deploy these systems only where they can operate responsibly, compliantly, and at sustained scale.
