    What They Do

    Brightmark Energy focuses on innovative solutions to environmental challenges, particularly in waste management and recycling. The company has developed proprietary technologies such as **Plastics Renewal®**, a patented pyrolysis process that converts mixed plastics into valuable products like ultra-low sulfur diesel, naphtha blend stocks, and wax. Additionally, Brightmark utilizes anaerobic digestion to produce renewable natural gas (RNG) from organic waste, which can be used as transportation fuel or heating. Their operations emphasize circular economy principles, targeting markets including dairy farms, food processors, and waste management firms, while also partnering with organizations like BP for fuel off-take agreements (source: brightmark.com).

    Projects & Track Record

    Brightmark's flagship project is the Ashley Circularity Center in Indiana, which is designed to process 100,000 tons of plastics annually into fuels and wax. This facility, which broke ground with $260 million in financing, represents the company's first commercial-scale mixed plastics converter. In addition to this, Brightmark operates over 30 RNG circularity centers in partnership with dairy farms across six states, including Michigan and Indiana. Notable clients include Larson Dairy and NOAA’s Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, showcasing the company's commitment to environmental sustainability and innovation in waste management (source: brightmark.com).

    Recent Developments

    In the past two years, Brightmark has announced ambitious plans for a $1 billion circularity center in Thomaston, Georgia, and has achieved significant milestones, including recycling over 1 million pounds of medical plastics through partnerships. The company has also celebrated reducing emissions by more than 1 million tons of CO2 equivalent across its centers and has completed 10 new RNG centers. These developments highlight Brightmark's ongoing commitment to sustainability and innovation in the waste-to-value sector (source: brightmark.com).

The company culture is characterized by values of imagination, grit, and optimism, fostering a collaborative environment among engineers and energy veterans.
