Sustainability & circularity
THE CIRCULAR ECONOMYNEEDS AN ENERGY STRATEGY.
Not every plastic product can continue through mechanical recycling indefinitely.
Contamination, mixed polymers, degradation and limited end markets can eventually make conventional recycling technically or economically impractical.
Circular hydrocarbon recovery provides another pathway.
By recovering hydrocarbon value from selected plastic waste streams, Future Fuel Tech and Green Fuel Tech aim to turn material with limited remaining value into a usable energy resource.
This is not positioned as a replacement for mechanical recycling.
It is part of a broader hierarchy in which suitable materials should be reused or mechanically recycled where practical, while advanced recovery technologies provide pathways for difficult residual streams.
We do not make unverified environmental claims. Any quantified environmental performance data will be published only where it has been independently verified.
Where we focus
PRACTICAL CIRCULARITY, NOT SLOGANS
Resource recovery
Recovering hydrocarbon value from material that has reached the practical limit of conventional recycling.
Waste diversion
Creating an economic pathway for difficult-to-recycle plastic streams with limited remaining end markets.
Circular hydrocarbons
Producing a circular hydrocarbon component that can be introduced into existing liquid-fuel applications.
Local manufacturing
Processing and upgrading in South Africa, shortening the distance between recovered feedstock and finished fuel.
Reduced virgin dependence
Introducing recovered hydrocarbon content aims to reduce dependence on virgin hydrocarbon resources for each litre supplied.
Economic value recovery
Returning commercial value to collection, sorting and recovery operators within the supply chain.
Industrial circularity
Connecting waste handling, manufacturing and fuel distribution into one industrial loop.
Technology development
Continued engineering development of thermal-recovery technology through the Technotherm platform.

Lifecycle data
CARBON DATA WILL BE PUBLISHED WHEN IT IS VERIFIED
Future Fuel Tech intends to publish lifecycle carbon and resource-efficiency data for FutureFuel Circular Diesel™ once it has been independently assessed and verified by a qualified third party.
Independent lifecycle assessment: not yet published
Until such an assessment is completed and published, no quantified emissions, carbon-reduction or lifecycle claims are made for any product.
