Clean Vision Plans to Launch Plastic-To-Energy Plants in Morocco

Rabat – American holding company Vision Seas plans to work with Moroccan business Eco Synergie to build two plants to convert plastic into energy sources across the country.

Clean-Seas, a subsidiary of US company Clean Vision that acquires and operates green energy businesses, will set up a base in Morocco to develop two waste plastic-to-energy pyrolysis plants in Morocco.

It is not yet clear where these plants could be stationed.

Plastic-to-energy pyrolysis is the process used to convert plastic materials into energy sources by heating the plastic waste at temperatures between 300 to 900°C.

Clean-Seas will establish a Moroccan subsidiary – Clean-Seas Morocco – which will serve as a host facility for Clean-Seas’ Plastic Conversion Network (PCN), according to a document from the company that outlines its plans to invest in Morocco.

Clean-Seas aims to purchase and expand plastic-to-energy pyrolysis plants in Morocco, doubling the company’s existing plant capacity to 50 tons per day (TPD).

Other companies in Morocco wanting to do pyrolysis could also use the plant.

CEO of Clean Vision Dan Bates, who traveled to Morocco to sign the so-called term sheet, considers this partnership to be “valuable” and an opportunity to “produce cash flow and generate broader private sector and government interest.”

The term sheet lays out basic terms and conditions to govern the parties’ relationship until a formal definitive agreement is put into force.

“When you look at a map and see the proximity of Morocco to the European Union, it immediately stands out to us as a perfect location for a PCN facility,” said Clean-Seas Vice President of Business Development Daniel Harris.

“As important as geography may be, establishing this partnership with Eco Synergie should provide a solid foundation upon which we expect to produce great success,” added Harris.

Managing Director of Eco Synergie Mohammed El Abbassi stressed that Morocco is committed to environmental sustainability and protection, adding that partnering with Clean-Seas will help combat the plastic pollution crisis.

Eco Synergie, which is based in Agadir, Morocco, was founded in 1999. It is the parent company of Aqua Flore Protect.

The two companies focus on waste recycling, including collecting and treating hazardous and non-hazardous waste to convert it into new raw materials.

Eco Synergie and its subsidiaries are active in the Souss-Massa and Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima regions.
