The InEnTec technology uses plasma gasification, extremely high temperatures, to break these materials down into synthesis gas (syngas), which can then be processed into hydrogen, clean fuels, or SAF.

The Centurion DC’s certification proves that at scale, 173,500 square metres, segregation, partnerships with recyclers, and food donation programmes can divert over 90 percent of that volume.

By banning advanced recycling while mandating 75 percent recycling rates, the legislation sets a target that flexible packaging cannot meet with existing infrastructure.

The programme establishes a coordinated downstream process involving evacuation to central aggregation hubs, then to licensed recycling facilities.
