500 kg/h Plastic Waste Processing Plant in Chester

Sustane Technologies and Pyrovac Inc. have entered into a long-term strategic alliance that grants Sustane exclusive access to Pyrovac’s advanced reactor technology and related processes for waste plastic processing. This agreement marks a major milestone in scaling circular economy solutions across Canada and internationally.

The initial phase of the agreement includes a contract valued at more than $7 million for the upgrade and expansion of a two-reactor system at Sustane’s facility in Chester, Nova Scotia. More significantly, the partnership grants Sustane exclusive rights to use Pyrovac’s proprietary plastic processing technology under a mutually beneficial growth model.

“This interprovincial partnership is significant on several levels. We are combining cutting-edge, made-in-Canada technology with 30 years of world-class research and innovation to significantly reduce plastic waste while creating meaningful economic value. Pyrovac’s scientific expertise and process engineering excellence make them the ideal long-term collaborator as we expand our footprint across Canada and ultimately around the world,” said Peter Vinall, CEO of Sustane Technologies.

Pyrovac, based in Quebec, has spent decades developing thermal decomposition technologies that transform industrial and forestry waste into high-value products. This agreement represents the first commercial deployment of Pyrovac’s technology within Sustane’s circular plastics processing platform.

“We are proud to partner with Sustane, a company that not only shares our vision for a more sustainable future but also possesses the operational readiness and scale required to advance Pyrovac’s technology both in Canada and internationally,” said Christian Roy, Founder and President of Pyrovac Inc. “Together, we are building the foundation for a new kind of materials economy.”

Both companies have received government support for earlier stages of development. As they continue to scale their operations, this collaboration highlights the growing role of Canadian cleantech leaders in developing innovative environmental solutions for global markets.
