Thank you for ridding the world's oceans of plastic with us and helping us ensure that the plastic we catch never re-enters the marine environment!

Almost two years since my warrantied 2016 Sedona’s engine died. The engine is currently part of an investigation by the NHTSA and the warranty was extended to 180,000 miles because of problems with the engine gaskets. It already was extended because of the failed oil pressure pump. One of those issues likely killed my Sedona at only 50,000 miles. The dealer never checked either of those issues even though we asked. We provided more than the requested number of oil change receipts. What more do I need to do???

Waste-to-Energy (WtE) is an ingenious process that turns waste into usable energy, turning trash into treasure! Waste can be transformed into renewable energy sources like electricity or fuel, we reduce landfill waste.

RDF, tire, waste plastic pyrolysis in water vapor microwave plasma. Emissions without CO2 and NOx, no residual material (slag) is formed, no sewage water, in electrical energy self-sufficient, odorless flue gas of pyrolisys. The main advantage of steam plasma reactors is that there is no nitrogen in the steam plasma, the plasma reactor, the gasifier and the plasma afterburner chamber, so there is no nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). The hydrogen introduced into the reaction space with the steam plasma slows down the reactions of gaseous sulphur, phosphorus and free chlorine formation, i.e. gases that are difficult to remove in the gas purification unit. When reacting with chlorine-containing substances, water vapor plasma does not produce dioxin, which is one of the most toxic substances. Our environmental innovation a) Heating of reactors without fossil fuels b) No sludge, no sewage water c) Zero nitrogen oxide emissions d) Zero carbon dioxide emissions e) In electrical energy self-sufficient f) Odorless flue gas of pyrolysis technology: www.gumienergia.hu

We would be delighted to be that option, transforming it into RESIN8TM and getting it directly into social housing. CRDC GLOBAL is willing to delivering it into a broader ecosystem, also accompanied with high-value social impact.

Go go... Actually, we need an entire fleet of you cleanup ships. And preventing plastics from even getting to the ocean... 🪸

Amazing idea and initiative!!! Next step would be decreasing the prices of the cars participating to these initiative! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Fantastic initiative - what will some of the Ocean plastic be used for in Kia cars? Perhaps the gear stick handle or the trim? Many options and will be exciting to hear where Kia Worldwide will use it.
