what does Arizona look like in 10 years?
~ 4,500 MW electrical demand increase
~2,000 tons/day of plastics land-filled
What's Possible
*800 tons/day plastics = ~65–70 MW
Realistic. Environmentally Responsible. Circular solutions
~80% of post-consumer plastics end up in a landfill
Many municipalities across the country are looking at a potential 20 - 30% increase in electrical demand within 10 years. The infrastructure can't catch up
Lets have a conversation about how these two seemingly disparate but critical concerns are perfectly complimentary
About JFBI Energy
Our Mission
At JFBI Energy we are sincere about plastics
Most of the world wants to do their part to reduce plastic waste. The stubborn truth of the matter is the current options to "reuse and recycle" are technologically and/or economically unfeasible. The "reduce" encouragement of the catchy phrase is more delusional than aspirational in today's single-use world.
We know the industry and the frustrating realities of "recycling" plastics
Many clever technologies are often brought up as recovery/recycling options. We know what they are and why they aren’t commercially viable. Focusing on combusting waste plastics and generating electricity is, in our opinion, the most efficient and consistent pathway for both landfill avoidance and energy supply.
We focus on the energy contained in post-consumer plastics
Plastics are ~99% petroleum based and consequently have exceptional energy content when combusted. On average, waste-plastics contain more energy than coal. The alternative is to spend 500+ years in a hole in the ground. Would anyone pay for a full tank of gas but only fill it up 10% of the way? That is analogous to the lost energy capacity of waste-plastics buried under your feet. We are also very aware of the imminent and incredible increase in electrical demand and the lack of generation/supply capacity many municipalities and regions are facing.
Our Technology
Our team has significant experience in waste-to-energy incineration facilities on multiple continents. We are currently in talks with some of the best engineers in the world but are not quite there yet....

The truth about plastic recycling
Our Vision
At JFBI Energy, we believe that renewable energy is the key to a sustainable future. We also believe that the volume of plastics being thrown in a hole is unacceptable. As a company we strongly believe a few things:
1) The plastic recycling rates in America are terrible.
2) As most of the waste plastics cannot be recycled, it defies reason that these petroleum products would not be converted to energy.
3) The full process is one of the most complimentary technologies that exist. It literally & reciprocally solves two significant issues facing our sustainability.
