WE SOLVE PROBLEMS WITH PLASTIC
Plastics Pirate is conducting a Pilot in Far North Queensland in 2023 to prove the value of plastic.
We aim to demonstrate our small-scale mobile pyrolysis plants can convert most types of plastic into usable fuels onsite, removing large volumes of agricultural, community and industrial plastic from the waste stream.
Our plants can process up to 800 kgs of plastic per day, onsite and transform it into up to 800 litres of usable fuels including diesel, unleaded and naphtha type fuels.
By substituting fossil fuels with naphtha type fuels made from plastic we can turn this plastic into treasure before your eyes.
Our Pilot Partners
Plastics Pirate
KEY STAKEHOLDERS
SCARABTECH
Manufacturers of plant & owners of plant IP. Joint Venture Partners with shared intention to prove the relationship between feedstock & offtake during Pilot.
COOK SHIRE COUNCIL
Wants to give residents and businesses the opportunity to remove their plastic from the waste stream. Participated in Pilot working with Plastics Pirate to develop a sustainable strategy to achieve this.
LAKELAND BANANA GROWERS
Participants in Pilot to investigate solutions to banana industry plastic waste. Will provide large volumes of plastic feedstock for Plastics Pirate to process and test the diesel offtake on farm machinery.

PILOT BENEFITS
Divert plastic waste from landfill/environment
Pilot directing waste from multiple community & industry sources in Pilot phase.
Develop ‘Industry Specific Circular Economies’
Pilot aims to demonstrate how communities Australia-wide can have the opportunity to remove plastic from waste stream.
THESE EFFICIENT SMALL-SIZE, HIGH-YIELD PLASTIC TO ENERGY MACHINES ARE MOBILE AND SCALABLE, MEANING THEY CAN ACCESS PLASTIC WASTE STREAMS MOST PYROLYSIS SYSTEMS CAN’T.
PLASTICS PIRATE’S COOK SHIRE PILOT AIMS TO PROVE OUR PLANTS ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SPECIFIC FUELS FROM SPECIFIC PLASTICS ON A COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL SCALE.
Introduce the solution for Australian fuel sovereignty
Plastics Pirate has a viable solution to assist the Federal Government to secure Australia’s fuel sovereignty.
OUR PYROLYSIS SYSTEM WASTES ALMOST NOTHING, WITH THE GAS CONDENSED INTO LOW ASH AND SULPHUR USABLE FUELS, RECIRCULATED INTO THE REACTOR OR BURNT OFF AND THE 4% CARBON BLACK RESIDUE IS ALSO USEABLE.
OUR PLANTS ARE SELF-SUSTAINABLE, POWERED OFF THEIR OWN BYPRODUCTS OF PYROLYSIS AND VIRTUALLY EMISSION-FREE.
Establish the relationship between feedstock and offtake for all types of plastic we process
Pilot establishes baseline cost/profit ratio of different plastic streams.
UP TO 5 PYROLYSIS PLANTS CAN BE DAISY-CHAINED IN ONE CONTAINER FOR LARGER VOLUMES.
Pilot assesses options to process plastic waste generated in the Cape.
UP TO 5 PYROLYSIS PLANTS CAN BE DAISY-CHAINED IN ONE CONTAINER FOR LARGER VOLUMES.
Plastics Pirate will conduct at least one ocean plastic collection during the Pilot.
Develop a suitable business model with a manufacturing partner in Australia or offshore to increase plant production and reduce costs.
Substituting fossil fuels with pyrolysis oil for energy and plastic production
Pilot producing suitable oil (including diesel and naphtha) & further developing offtake market with plastics manufacturers.
Prove that plastic waste has a value
Turn plastic into treasure with plastic credits and incentives for collection and processing. Pilot closing the loop between plastic credit financiers & plastic collectors and processors for collective benefit.
Investigate collaborations to process most of Australia’s waste
Once strategies for managing plastic waste have been identified, help form alliances that can manage most types of community waste.
Showcasing banana growers as a model to prove the viability of the technology to agriculture
Pilot reduces plastic to landfill & provides banana farmers with extra oil-generated income stream while eliminating landfill costs.
Aid the investment towards a circular economy with quantifiable data
Pilot collecting evidence to prove industry-specific circular economies can benefit the environment, industries & communities.
Assist in developing a ghost net strategy
