Cecilia Successfully Commissions Pilot Demonstration Unit, Enabling the Future of Advanced Materials
Cecilia has successfully commissioned its Pilot Demonstration Unit (PDU) at its headquarters in Newark, NJ, marking a pivotal step forward in the company’s mission to transform plastic waste into circular high-performance materials.
The PDU is designed to continuously process up to five kilograms of industrial waste plastic per day and represents the latest milestone in Cecilia’s growth. This revolutionary reactor lays the foundation for Cecilia’s broader vision to manufacture commercial-grade carbon materials for defense, space, and other industrial applications.
Unlike traditional chemical recycling methods that primarily yield pyrolytic oils, Cecilia’s microwave-based reactor sets a new industry standard. The PDU efficiently converts plastic feedstock into clean hydrogen and high-performance carbon materials. The reactor’s modular, energy-efficient design minimizes capital expenditures while enhancing scalability, making it well-suited for tackling the decentralized and distributed nature of global plastic waste challenges.
