Clean-Seas West Virginia
Construction is underway at the Clean-Seas WV facility in Belle, West Virginia!
The Belle Facility is the Company's first PCN hub located in the United States, marking a significant step in the Company's mission to transform plastic waste into sustainable energy solutions.
The location of the facility with access to truck, rail, and barge transportation, makes it an ideal hub for receiving and processing waste plastic from the mid-Atlantic region.
The Company has 100 TPD of post-use plastic feedstock under agreement, expandable at the Company’s request.
With its historical leadership in energy production, and its strategic position West Virginia is a perfect location for a Clean-Seas facility.

Investing in our host communities is one of Clean-Seas core values.
Clean-Seas leadership met earlier this year with Riverside High School’s Principal, Stephan Loftis in Belle, WV to answer any questions he might have about our project, and the conversation quickly pivoted to ways RHS students might learn valuable skills through internships and work/study programs with Clean-Seas, and how Clean-Seas staff might guest lecture at science classes, and support sustainability initiatives at the school (Conversations have already started at the school district on making these plans a reality.)
While touring the school, Principal Loftis talked about the challenges of getting students to turn out for the SATs (a junior-year benchmark for students pursuing higher education). Knowing the best way to a teenagers heart is often through their stomach, Loftis asked Clean-Seas to help.
April 16 was Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) day at Riverside High School. So when principal Loftis asked for Clean-Seas to make a small, but immediate impact at the school by making sure each of the 220+ test-takers got a fresh breakfast from West Virginia's iconic Tudor's Biscuit World, we jumped at the chance to help.

"For the first time, Riverside has met the 95% requirement on the first day of testing," said Principal Loftis.
"In fact we are one of only 4 schools in Kanawha County to meet this requirement . . . I know the biscuits had something to do with this!"
Two months later in June, the results were in: Riverside increased its SAT scores 32 points, and for the first time beat rival Capital High School, according to Loftis. “I know the sausage biscuits had a hand in the increase,” he said.
"As a triple-bottom line company, we measure our performance not just in returning value to investors, but to our positive impact on the environment, and on the community, through good jobs, but also in other ways," said John Yonce, president of Clean-Seas West Virginia.
"Working with partners like Principal Loftis, who truly know the challenges facing the community -- and the best ways for us to help address those challenges -- is vital to making our best impact.

In 2022, West Virginia passed H.B. 4084, joining 20+ US states in recognizing innovative technologies like pyrolysis as
solutions to responsibly manage hard-to-recycle plastics.
● West Virginia’s historical leadership in US energy production and distribution can be leveraged to quickly deliver innovative
clean energy products to regional, national and global markets.
● West Virginia’s Solid Waste Master Plan recognizes the state’s central location and excellent connectivity via road, rail and river to accept plastic from a significant area.
● There are 50 Material Recovery Facilities and 77 plastic recycling facilities in West Virginia’s neighboring states; revenue from accepting their non-mechanically recyclable
mixed plastic and converting it to clean energy products can subsidize West Virginia’s efforts to increase collection and sortation of its own discarded plastic.
