PACRRS provides Renewable Energy, Recycling, Plastics Collection, Manufacturing & Distribution.
Have you ever wondered what happens to your "recycled" plastic items? 
Do you really know where it goes? 
Statistics show over 91% of plastic isn't recycled and goes directly to landfills. And nothing is being done about it.  Between 1950 and 2015, humans produced 8.3 billion metric tons of plastics, 6.3 billion tons of which ended up in landfills. 
The 1's and 3's that are deemed acceptable for recycling are not so easily sorted out, and unfortunately, waste management companies do not see it as worth their time or money. 
Pacific Resource Recycling Systems (PACRRS ) aims to use a closed-loop gasification system to turn plastic into reusable and renewable energy and resources with zero emissions.
At PACRRS, our facility will take any plastics, clean or dirty, and use it as a fuel to create a renewable energy.  So if you are worried about where your plastics go and what happens to it, we are here to tell you that we ARE doing something about it!
PACRRS was started to not only remove, but also reuse plastics to create a clean and reusable energy that we can all use today, and for future generations.  Our passion is to do something about this epidemic, and the oceans of plastic that are clogging the arteries of our planet.  Through new technology, and with the help of proven processes that have been around for years, we are able to provide a place where we can do just that.
The PACRRS team is committed to bringing good paying jobs to the local Lebanon community and the larger Willamette Valley as a whole while protecting the environment for all to live, work, and play.  However, our goal to work towards solving this problem of plastics and nonrenewable energy sources cannot be possible without your help and support.
Our Impact
Each day, the PACRRS facility will be able to process 50 metric tons of plastics and generate countless quantities of renewable assets by starting off with one gasification unit using cutting edge technology.  In the future, we hope to be able to expand and scale up to 4-6 units in Lebanon as well as look into opening up more facilities in other counties and states.  The amount of processed tons of plastic will grow in size as new units evolve, growing from 50 metric tons to upwards of 100 tons or more as engineering efforts increase to create larger capacity gasification units.
All types of plastic would be able to be collected and used for the process, including: 
Straws
Styrofoam
Film Plastics
Carpets
Car Parts (plastic)
With your support, PACRRS will be the first commercial operation that starts using plastic as a fuel, to spearhead the effort to clean the planet of plastic while providing much-needed resources and energy.
In turn, the facility's gasification process will provide specific renewable resources through our engineering efforts, such as:
Syngas
Fuel
Electricity
Hydrogen
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)
Ethanol
 
Our Technology 
PACRRS will use gasification technology, which converts organic- or fossil fuel-based carbonaceous materials into carbon monoxide, hydrogen and carbon dioxide.  This is achieved by reacting the material at high temperatures.
Compared to an average waste burning system, PACRRS will be using the latest technology to reach temperatures of around 4000+°​F which ensures that all waste breaks down at the molecular level.  Organic material is vaporized and collected as a clean syngas.  Inorganic material melts and is collected as metal and non-leaching vitrified stone. There are no major byproducts from the process that require additional disposal.  Our ultimate goal is to create completely clean, reusable energy and outputs that are all contained in a closed-looped system to emit zero waste.  We believe this is what sets PACRRS apart from others who use traditional gasification processes.
Gasification Overview:  This is a very basic model of the gasification process.  The full ability and additional technologies that are needed to produce the energies we have outlined are not shown here, due to classifications and restrictions.
 
Site Model:  The following is a set of different sections that will be uniform once we can share the completed model.  Due to ongoing configuration and engineering, we can only show small sections at a time.  The general idea is Receive, Ingest, Clean, and lastly Store clean energy.
 
 
Future Partnerships & Education Goals
Our community is at the heart of our operation and drives everything that we do.  With the 46 acres of land that has already been acquired for our facility, the PACRRS team would like to set aside, study, and protect a large portion of the land and wetlands.  To do so, the team is highly interested in strategic partnerships with local companies, nonprofits, and educational institutions.
Strategic Partnerships:   We are looking to partner with companies or nonprofits that specifically have a concern or issue with increased consumption rates, the continuing generation of plastics, and how they are disposed of or recycled.  This partnership will work closely with our executive team to build a strategy and on-going relationships that will be beneficial to both parties.
Educational Partnerships:  We are also looking to partner with local and regional businesses, universities, community organizations, nonprofits, and K-12 schools with the overall goal to promote educational access and opportunities.  We hope to create partnerships that allow students to build on their education around Environmental Studies and Engineering Studies, in addition to creating fellowships, internships, and research opportunities either associated with the facility or the surrounding ecosystem.  To accommodate this, our plans will include establishing an R&D facility that can accommodate interns, scholarship students, and local graduates working in a relevant environmental or engineering degree.
