A New Twist for Refineries -- Reusing Plastic

January 26--Written by Daniel Graeber for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The focus on the waste stream so far in the energy transition has been on using landfill gas or farm waste as a feedstock at refineries, but now Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX) (Houston, Texas) says it can do the same with waste plastics, creating something of a circular economy. The waste plastic stream is a lingering concern for environmental advocates worried about its long-term presence and accumulation both on and offshore. Phillips 66 says it may have a solution.
