Plastics-to-Fuel Feasibility Study: Feasibility study funded by state
Status of project
In-progress
Background to this project
In March 2024, Technology company Licella, along with cardboard packaging and paper recycler Oji Fibre Solutions, on-farm plastic recycler Plasback, Silver Fern Farms, and Woolworths New Zealand, with money from the Ministry for the Environment’s Plastics Innovation Fund announced a joint feasibility study of an advanced chemical recycling facility. Licella is in partnership with the world’s largest petrochemical and petroleum companies, including Dow Chemical and Shell Oil.
We responded to this announcement by issuing a media statement and we have received some information under the OIA about this taxpayer-funded dodgy greenwashing investigation. We will update the page here when we find out more.
