What Clean-Seas does
Clean-Seas, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Clean Vision Corporation (OTCQB: CLNV) that deploys pyrolysis-based Plastic Conversion Network (PCN) facilities to convert post-use plastics, particularly the difficult-to-recycle grades (#4-7), into Plastic Pyrolysis Oil (PPO), clean hydrogen branded AquaH, and ultra-low sulfur fuels. The core technology applies high pressure and high temperature in the absence of oxygen to break down plastic into chemical precursors, producing PPO that can substitute for virgin fossil feedstock in petrochemical manufacturing. The patent-pending PCN platform strategically locates conversion facilities near feedstock sources globally, with operational or planned hubs in West Virginia, Morocco, India, Arizona, and the UK. The company targets petrochemical companies seeking circular feedstock (including Circularity Divisions of major oil and gas producers), municipalities needing alternatives to landfilling non-recyclable plastics, and clean energy markets pursuing hydrogen economy goals.

Revenue model
- Pyrolysis Processing Services: Revenue generated from processing plastic feedstock through pyrolysis technology, converting post-use plastics into valuable byproducts. The company receives feedstock at no charge under long-term supply agreements and processes it into pyrolysis oil and other products.
- Sale of Pyrolysis Oil (PPO): Plastic Pyrolysis Oil sold to petrochemical companies for use in manufacturing new plastic products, offsetting virgin fossil-fuel exploration and refining. Sold to circularity divisions of major petrochemical companies.
- Hydrogen (AquaH) Sales: Clean hydrogen branded as AquaH produced from syngas for sale to the oil and gas industry and clean energy markets. India's facility is developing ways to scale up hydrogen production.
- Off-take Product Sales: Sale of ultra-low sulfur precursors and other byproducts from the pyrolysis process. The off-take purchaser for WV is a Fortune 50 oil and gas producer under long-term agreement.

Clean-Seas product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Clean-Seas operates a global Plastic Conversion Network (PCN) of pyrolysis facilities that convert difficult-to-recycle post-use plastics (#4-7) into Plastic Pyrolysis Oil (PPO), clean hydrogen (AquaH), and ultra-low sulfur fuels. The company secures long-term feedstock supply agreements at no charge and sells circular outputs to petrochemical off-takers under multi-year contracts. Operational facilities in Morocco (20 TPD, scaling to 500 TPD) and India, with the West Virginia facility entering commissioning in 2026.
Product overview
Clean-Seas offers a portfolio of pyrolysis-based plastic conversion products and services organized around its patent-pending Plastic Conversion Network (PCN) platform. The core offering is the PCN—a global network of regional pyrolysis facilities that convert post-use plastic into valuable outputs including Plastic Pyrolysis Oil (PPO) and clean hydrogen (AquaH®). The product line includes the core Pyrolysis Technology system, the Training, Research and Evaluation (TRE) Unit for operational testing, and regional facility deployments across West Virginia, Morocco, India, Arizona, and the UK. Each facility serves as both a conversion hub and an access point to the broader network, enabling localized plastic diversion while producing circular economy feedstocks for petrochemical customers.

Clean-Seas competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Plastic Energy: UK-based pure-play pyrolysis company that converts end-of-life plastic waste into pyrolysis oil (TACOIL) for petrochemical off-takers. Operates commercial plants in Spain and is expanding globally. Direct functional and customer overlap with Clean-Seas's PPO-from-pyrolysis model.
- Agilyx: Norway-headquartered advanced recycling company using pyrolysis to convert post-use plastics into crude-like oil for circular plastics and fuels. Has commercial units in the US and Europe and partnerships with major petrochemical customers. Closest direct functional peer to Clean-Seas.
- Eastman Chemical Company: US specialty chemical company operating one of the largest advanced recycling facilities (Kingsport, TN) using methanolysis to depolymerize polyester waste. While a different chemical route, it is a leading commercial-scale advanced recycler selling to circular plastics customers, and competes for the same off-take demand as Clean-Seas's PPO.
- Brightmark Energy: US-based plastics-to-fuel company operating commercial pyrolysis facilities converting post-use plastics into fuels and feedstocks. Direct overlap with Clean-Seas's pyrolysis-to-PPO platform and US mid-market focus.
- Nexus Circular: US advanced recycling company with a commercial-scale pyrolysis plant in Georgia converting mixed post-use plastics into circular feedstocks for petrochemical off-takers. Direct competitor for circular PPO off-take agreements in North America.
- Resynergi: California-based plastic-to-fuel pyrolysis company with modular continuous-flow reactors converting mixed plastics into fuels. Comparable technology and target customers, with a similar early commercial-stage profile to Clean-Seas.
- Renewlogy: US advanced recycling company using pyrolysis to convert mixed post-use plastics into petrochemical feedstocks. Operates regional processing facilities and serves the same circularity customer segment as Clean-Seas.
Broad incumbents
- Shell plc: Global integrated oil and gas major with growing investments in chemical recycling, including pyrolysis-based plastic-to-feedstock at scale (e.g., partnership with Pryme in the Netherlands). Represents both a potential off-take customer and competitive threat to Clean-Seas's petrochemical PPO sales.
- BASF SE: World's largest chemical company with its ChemCycling program, using pyrolysis oil from advanced recyclers (including partners such as Quantafuel) as feedstock for new plastics. Functions as a major off-take counterparty and incumbent in the advanced recycling ecosystem where Clean-Seas also competes.
- ExxonMobil: Integrated oil major with its Exxtend advanced recycling program, operating pyrolysis capacity in Texas to convert plastic waste into feedstocks. Major competitive supplier of circular PPO to petrochemical customers and potential off-take partner for Clean-Seas.
