Heniff partners with Clean-Seas
Heniff Transportation Systems will assist plastic waste converter Clean-Seas with the loading and distribution of its plastic pyrolysis oil (PPO) through a new agreement with innovative parent company Clean Vision.
“As we prepare to scale operations in the coming months, we are committed to getting our products to market safely and efficiently,” Clean Vision CEO Dan Bates said in a news release.
“We’re confident we’ve found the ideal transport partner to do so with Heniff.”
According to Bates, Clean Vision selected Heniff for its award-winning safety record; certifications to deliver PPO feedstock to purchasers in the Midwest, on the Louisiana and Texas Gulf Coast, and to Europe; and the carrier’s extensive transmodal infrastructure to service the Plastic Conversion Network (PCN) as it scales across the U.S., and internationally.
“Our facilities are designed for worker and environmental safety,” Bates maintained. “And Heniff clearly shares our standard of care once our products leave the facility.”
Clean-Seas’ West Virginia location is the first PCN facility in the U.S. It will divert 50 tons per day of plastic waste from landfills and incinerators across the mid-Atlantic region and convert it to high-value feedstocks for the circular plastic economy. Phase 1 will generate more than 40 new technical and operational jobs in eastern Kanawha County upon commissioning, the company reported.
Clean-Seas also plans to scale operations in West Virginia, and add additional PCN locations across the U.S.
“We’re excited to work with Clean-Seas and support their vision of diverting plastic from landfills and incinerators and converting it for circularity and clean fuels,” said Bob Heniff, founder and CEO of the Heniff companies. “Our integrated network of nearly 100 terminals, depots, and rail transloading facilities across North America and Europe provides service efficiencies to our many customers. Our sustainability investments include varied alternative fuel options for our fleet and environmentally friendly transload service options.
“And our participation in the Operation Clean Sweep program to prevent plastic pellet loss offers a natural fit with Clean-Seas.”
