In Ireland, RTE reported that Irish firm Trifol Resources has developed and patented a process to transform old plastic into sustainable fuel, including sustainable aviation fuel and wax. Trifol Resources is already up and running with two so-called “reactors”, or massive recycling machines, installed and operating since June at the former Bord Na Móna briquette factory at Littleton in Co Tipperary, according to the report. The report added that two major international oil companies have reached agreements with Trifol to buy all the sustainable aviation fuel that the Littleton plant can produce. Trifol founder and Chairman Pat Alley said: “We are going to be a tremendous solution provider to a large number of corporates and small businesses in Ireland, and throughout the globe, by providing solutions for all the waste plastic that they generate.” “We will be able to independently certify the destruction of that plastic and its conversion into a useful product without subsidy,” Alley added.
