Synaptic Connections//

Happy Hanukkah and I hope everyone is enjoying this festive season.  In the news this week we are seeing some exciting developments in the growth and commercialization of pyrolysis.  If you go back and look at our BLOGS you will see we identified pyrolysis as one of the key technologies to track for advancing sustainability.  In the last year we've done considerable research on this topic and we remain bullish on the growth and opportunity for pyrolysis.  In our learnings we've come to have an opinion that the operating window is broader than recycling, however, still largely requires a pre-sorted waste stream for operational efficiency and yields.  Give us a call if you'd like to learn more.  Have a great week!  Cheers, Gary
