Plastic waste as a high-quality raw material: Huge amounts of plastic waste are available as raw material. Appropriate disposal of plastic waste satisfies a considerable need.
The modular concept of the thermolysis facility guarantees continuous operation. While one module undergoes maintenance, production continues in the other modules. ENESPA will operate systems of 5 modules and continuously expand the site with more 5-module systems.

In our thermolysis process, 90% of the chemical energy of the plastic waste is retained, because the result is high-quality, low-sulphur paraffin oil. The high-quality paraffin oil can easily be used in industry and trade as a substitute for conventional crude oil for energy generation and plastic production. (Symbol picture)
With this thermolysis process, a technology has been created that solves the problem of recycling mixed plastic waste in a sustainable and intelligent way. Several locations in Germany are already interested in facilities. Raw material (plastic waste) is available in huge quantities and the sale of paraffin oil to one of the largest refineries has been secured.
Recycle plastic waste with the thermolysis process
Despite global efforts, plastic waste ends up in landfills, floats in the oceans and is incinerated, releasing CO₂ which is harmful to the environment.
In Germany, more than 60% of plastic waste is incinerated in waste incineration plants and as replacement fuel in power plants. The future lies in thermolysis technology. Our first thermolysis facility will start production in Germany in Autumn 2020. Pre-sorted plastic is converted into high-quality paraffin oil in a self-contained system. From 1,000 kg of plastic, 1,000 lt. of paraffin oil are produced (approx. 820 kg).
Thus, the circular economy for mixed plastic waste has become a reality. This means that we turn plastic waste into a raw material that is reused for plastic production.
Innovative technology
Thermolysis processes were already used by people in the Mesolithic Period when they produced tar. Today, thermolysis systems are used on an industrial scale, mainly in car tyre recycling and for the production of liquid smoke.
With the newly developed thermolysis process, it has become possible to recycle various composite plastics (e.g. PE, PP, PB, PS, EPS) into high-quality paraffin oil in a CO2-neutral way.
High-quality raw material is the result

The high-quality paraffin oil can easily be used in industry and trade as a substitute for conventional crude oil for energy generation and plastic production.

ENESPA AG will generate positive cash flow starting with the first investment. By operating several facilities simultaneously, revenues increase disproportionately and, accordingly, so does the value of the company. There is great demand for this technology. 18 locations in Germany are interested in operating a facility at this time.
Several sites in Germany are showing great interest in operating the recycling facilities. We will put the first facility into operation where we find the best conditions. Thanks to the mobility of the units, we are flexible when it comes to location. The business development unit of the Schwarze Pumpe Industrial Park in Spreetal is very interested in the ENESPA project. Following a thorough investigation, the responsible development bank declared the project eligible for funding. The project will be supported by the development bank once the approval process is completed.
The aim is for the first 5,000 kg/day facility in the industrial park to be commissionedby the end of 2020. As soon as this facility is in reliable operation, ENESPA will build another ten facilities and then gradually expand to forty facilities. The ten facilities are expected to be fully operational by the end of 2021.
