Each provider appears only under its home country. Project cards are listed under the installation country without identifying the equipment supplier.
Documented city-level references include Florida, Mosquera, Cali and Malambo in Colombia; Boca del Río, Chihuahua, Cuautla and Monterrey in Mexico; Nizhnekamsk and Kstovo in Russia; Rainham in the United Kingdom; Frankfurt, Dillingen and Wesseling in Germany; Johannesburg in South Africa; Ratlam and Hisar in India; and other locations across Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and the Americas. The directory distinguishes reported installations from projects in construction or development. Each card identifies the available evidence and technical data.
No. It is an expanding directory of plastic and tire pyrolysis. Open Details & sources on a card for the supporting information. Unconfirmed feedstock, process, capacity and start dates are labelled explicitly. Supplier-reported references are identified as such; they are not independent verification.
