Founder/President/CEO shares his objectives with Plastic2Power USA
Plastic2Power USA (P2P)
An AngelPreneur Impact Fund Company
Plastic2Power USA (P2P) is one of the most innovative Impact Fund business models developed by our Founder. Originally conceptualized to address the mounting crisis of plastic packaging waste in our oceans, and local landfills on tropical islands. After being temporarily shelved due to the global Covid Scamdemic and economic uncertainty under the Biden Administration, P2P is being revived under more favorable business conditions and a renewed interest in sustainable energy infrastructure under the Trump administration.
Many do not realize that our tropical islands, reefs and underwater ocean floors have become littered with plastic, killing millions of sea birds and marine life annually. The recent shift in federal environmental policies, a more investment-friendly tax structure, and growing public awareness of the plastic packaging waste pollution crisis - the time is right to launch Plastic2Power - a much-needed waste solution that can convert mixed plastic into electricity or transportation fuel.
Although P2P is Las Vegas based, the goal is to build a fully operational processing facility here, as a demonstration site other municipalities, island countries, or geographic regions interested in addressing their plastic waste can view a P2P plant for consideration. Las Vegas creates millions of tons of waste a year, and the videos below share the efforts of Republic Waste Managements in dealing with this waste. They have done an incredible job with plastic recycling, and we hope to work with them in obtaining much of our plastic feed stock. We see the P2P opportunity as a viable solution ready to be implemented anywhere local and state politicians will allow it to operate.
Our Mission: Transform Plastic Waste into Energy
Plastic2Power USA aims to become a national leader in plastic waste conversion to power or fuel. Using proven, scalable pyrolysis technology, we plan to process both ocean-bound and land-based mixed plastic packaging waste - turning it into low-sulfur transportation fuel oil, or syngas to fuel generators that make power. Our mission is simple: End the life cycle of all plastic packaging waste by repurposing it into clean energy. From the dry cleaner bag to the water bottle, we intend to become "The Plastic Waste Solution Company."
The image of the proposed processing line we intend to utilize is seen below. Although currently built in China, GridZero MetalWorks intends to seek the licensing rights to build these lines in its Las Vegas facility starting in 2027 to offset shipping and tariff cost, plus any supply chain issues to ensure P2P can grow as intended. We plan to build a P2P plant in Hawaii by 2030 to address ocean plastic waste, which already has an active Waste-to-Energy facility on the Island of Oahu. We expect at least 30 lines in operation by 2035, each processing 30 tons of mixed waste plastic per day.
The P2P business was integrated into the Impact Fund portfolio in 2023, with a goal to help address the amount of ongoing plastic packaging waste generated daily and stacking up nationwide at recyclers, and our landfills. We will contract them to obtain this waste feed stock no cost,
if we agree to transport it from their facilities.
The potential for P2P is substantial and we hope to build the equipment needed in the USA to help further drive this waste solution forward.
A Scalable Model with Massive Potential
The P2P business is being established as a standalone company. Our plan is to establish multiple plastic-to-energy processing plants across the U.S. beginning with:
c
-
A flagship plant near Las Vegas, NV
-
Several additional sites in California
-
Future expansion into Hawaii and Arizona
d
Each processing line is capable of converting 30 tons of mixed plastic waste per day into usable fuels and energy.
How It Works

%202.jpg)
Each P2P pyrolysis processing line (as seen in the above image) operates inside a standard industrial facility and processes all mixed plastic packaging waste (exclusive of PVC). It takes approximately 1.55 barrels of oil to generate 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity in a typical oil-fired power plant.

c
-
Low-sulfur fuel oil for transportation use
-
Syngas to power turbine electrical generation
-
Hydrogen for future mobility & energy applications
-
Char bio-products for use in chip manufacturing Key Rule-of-Thumb stats:
-
10 lbs of plastic = 1 gallon of fuel oil
-
1 gallon of oil = 1.6 kWh of electricity
-
30 tons/day line = 6,000 gallons of oil (143 bbs)

At full capacity, a 10-line plant could generate nearly 96 MW of power per day, or over 60,000 gallons of low sulphur diesel fuel - recovered from this plastic packaging waste. In Nevada, where power cost are low, we will generate only the power needed for our processing lines, and offer mainly transportation fuel to local truckers through our own sales outlet, or for local delivery. In California, with high power costs we will generate mainly much needed electricity.
Why This Matters
Every year, over 10 million tons of plastic enter our oceans, and many times that amount ends up in landfills. Since China and other countries stopped accepting U.S. plastic waste in 2018, plastic has been piling up—often burned or buried—with little public attention until recently
Plastic2Power USA is positioned to change that.

By recovering plastic packaging waste from landfills, recyclers, resort hotels, food services, tropical island beaches, and commercial buildings, P2P can:
s
-
Mitigate environmental damage from plastic pollution
-
Create a renewable energy source from waste
-
Reduce dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil
-
Generate new revenue and jobs in clean tech manufacturing

Market Opportunity
Plastic packaging waste is not just an environmental hazard—it’s a multi-billion-dollar hidden energy resource waiting to be reclaimed. With proper infrastructure and funding, P2P can help transform this "hidden oil spill" into an engine of economic growth.
For example:
-
Las Vegas Valley alone generates an estimated160 tons of plastic packaging waste daily (think resorts hotels)
-
If P2P processes just 300 tons/day, that would be equate to ~890 MWh of power
-
In Southern California, GridZero estimates over 7,000 MWh/day of potential energy output is possible
The initial P2P processing plant proposed for Las Vegas (seen below) incorporates a series of drive-thru waste collection sites (top left), which would also take in glass, paper and aluminum cans. Once proven to work in Las Vegas, the model could be duplicated in any major city. Plastic processing plants could also be integrated within the prison systems, providing inmates with work and teaching them a new skill.

How Are We funding Our Processing Plants
A full-scale 10-line facility is projected to cost $80+ million, excluding land and infrastructure. GridZero is currently seeking a suitable site in Las Vegas to build our first 4 line plant. Initially, the Impact Fund, & ClubZERO membership dues will help fund the design, and initial processing lines.
There is no shortage of available plastic waste (Feed Stock)
as this video clearly shares. Once established and proven,
funding our expansion will not be a problem. In the
meantime, we are seeking:
:
-
Strategic partners and impact investors
-
Development sites in Nevada, California, and Hawaii
-
Public-private partnerships with local governments
-
Partnerships with waste and recycler operators
-
Plastic feed stock from waste management companies

The Path Forward
As the global demand for clean energy and sustainable waste solutions accelerates, Plastic2Power USA is poised to lead a new industry—where plastic waste becomes power, pollution becomes profit, and innovation drives job creation and environmental restoration.
With strong market fundamentals, favorable federal and state policy support, and a visionary business model, P2P has the potential to become a high-growth multi-billion dollar public company and a national leader in clean tech infrastructure.
