Despite common misconceptions, plastic is one of humanityâs greatest material innovations. It is strong, lightweight, hygienic, and essential to modern life â from lifesaving medical equipment to food preservation and global logistics. Plastic itself is not the enemy.
The real challenge is what happens after plastic becomes waste. When mismanaged, it ends up in landfills, the open environment, rivers, and oceans, where it slowly breaks down into harmful microplastics. These microplastics contaminate the water we drink, the food we eat, the soil we grow on, and even the air we breathe. The solution is not to ban plastic, but to manage plastic waste responsibly and circularly.
Corsair provides a practical, scalable solution. Through our advanced pyrolysis technology, we turn plastic waste back into valuable pyrolysis oil, a certified raw material used by petrochemical companies to create new, more environmentally responsible plastic products. This closes the loop, giving waste plastic a new life while helping to protect the planet.

Corsair uses pyrolysis to turn plastic waste into a valuable product called pyrolysis oil. In this process, plastic is heated to very high temperatures without any oxygen, so it doesnât burn. Instead, it breaks down into three main parts: pyrolysis oil, gas, and solid residue (char).

Corsair transforms discarded plastic waste into a high-value oil product through advanced pyrolysis, a next-generation chemical recycling technology. During pyrolysis, plastic waste is heated in an oxygen-free environment, allowing the material to break down into liquid at the molecular level.
This controlled process produces three key outputs:
Pyrolysis Oil â a high-quality liquid that can be used by major petrochemical companies to create the building blocks for new, more sustainable plastics, helping to close the loop in the circular economy.
Gas â an energy-rich gas that is captured and reused by the pyrolysis units to generate the heat needed for the process, significantly improving overall energy efficiency.
Solid Residue (Char) â small amounts of carbon black -type of material that can be utilized by a variety of industries.
Corsairâs operating model, modular facility design, and strict quality control allow us to consistently produce ISCC-certified pyrolysis oil that meets the demanding feedstock specifications of global industry leaders. This operating process is deployed across Corsairâs expanding network of facilities worldwide, positioning the company as one of the fastest-growing leaders in the global plastic waste recycling sector.
Pyrolysis oil is an in-demand, premium-grade material used by global petrochemical companies to manufacture the building blocks for new, more environmentally responsible plastics. When upgraded through refinery and steam-cracking processes, this oil becomes the base for producing certified circular polymers used in everyday products such as:
At Corsair, quality is not merely a goalâit is the core principle guiding every part of our operation. As one of the fastest-growing companies in the plastic-waste chemical recycling industry, we understand that producing a consistent, globally recognized, and high-value product requires unwavering standards from start to finish. Every stepâfrom plastic waste collection to processing, certification, and deliveryâis governed by systems designed to ensure precision, safety, and transparency.
Our facilities operate using advanced modular designs, automated control systems, and strict operational protocols that guarantee repeatable performance and uniform output across all global locations. Each shipment of pyrolysis oil from Corsair undergoes comprehensive laboratory analysis to confirm it meets the demanding specifications required by leading petrochemical companies.
Quality at Corsair extends beyond the oil we produceâit begins at the very source of our material. All plastic waste collected under Corsairâs ecosystem follows the CPRS â Corsair Plastic Waste Removal Standard, a third-party audited framework that ensures every kilogram of plastic is genuinely removed from the environment in a measurable, traceable, and verifiable way. This standard underpins the integrity of our entire circular model, guaranteeing that the raw material entering our facilities is ethically sourced and environmentally impactful.
In addition, Corsairâs production processes comply with internationally recognized certification frameworks such as ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification), ensuring full traceability, sustainable operations, and alignment with the highest circular-economy requirements. These certifications enable Corsairâs pyrolysis oil to be accepted by major global petrochemical companies seeking reliable, circular feedstocks.
By uniting advanced technology, rigorous quality procedures, and transparent environmental standards like CPRS and ISCC, Corsair delivers a product and a system that meet or exceed the expectations of the worldâs most demanding industrial partners. This commitment to excellence is what positions Corsair at the forefront of the global transition to truly circular plastic production.
The global demand for circular, sustainable raw materials has never been strongerâand it is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. As governments, corporations, and consumers intensify their focus on environmental responsibility, the pressure on industries to reduce their reliance on virgin resources and increase recycled content has become a defining force in the market.
Major petrochemical companies, packaging producers, consumer brands, and industrial manufacturers are now committing to ambitious sustainability goals that require vast quantities of certified recycled feedstock. Pyrolysis oilâespecially ISCC-certified, high-quality pyrolysis oil like the kind produced by Corsairâhas emerged as one of the most critical materials needed to meet these targets.
This surge in demand is driven by multiple global trends:
Expanding regulatory requirements in the European Union, North America, and Asia mandating minimum levels of recycled content in plastic products.
Corporate sustainability commitments, with many Fortune 500 companies pledging to use only recycled or renewable plastics by 2030 or earlier.
Growing consumer expectations for environmentally responsible packaging and materials.
The urgent need to reduce plastic pollution, requiring scalable, industrial-grade recycling solutions.
As plastic production is projected to triple by 2050, the world is facing a critical shortage of circular feedstock. Mechanical recycling alone cannot meet the volume or quality requirements of modern industries, creating an enormous opportunity for advanced chemical recycling technologies.
Corsair is uniquely positioned to meet this rising demand. Our expanding network of facilities across the globe, combined with our strict quality-control systems, ISCC certification, and CPRS-backed waste collection, enables us to supply the global petrochemical industry with reliable, traceable, circular raw materials at scale.
This rapidly growing demand is not a temporary trendâit is a structural shift shaping the future of plastics. Corsair stands at the forefront of this transformation, delivering the materials industry needs to achieve a truly sustainable and circular world.
