Making synthetic lubricants secure and affordable
Aeternal Upcycling makes synthetic the new normal with a low-cost feedstock available near you - plastic waste.
Making premium performance affordable
Aeternal Upcycling’s lower-cost synthetic base oils make synthetic industrial lubricants affordable.
Synthetic lubricants perform at extreme conditions so that manufacturers run faster, run longer, and make more with less downtime.
But most manufacturers don’t use synthetic lubricants today:
More than
80%
​of manufacturers around the world do not use synthetic lubricants.
Synthetic lubricants cost
2x
or more than conventional lubricants.
Bringing supply close to home
Aeternal Upcycling brings synthetic base oils close to home, made from locally sourced plastic waste.
The recent closure of the Strait of Hormuz highlights the risk of dependence on imports:
The US imports over
1 million
tons of synthetic base oil every year
Over
60%
of global synthetic base oil production originates from the Persian Gulf, the Malacca Strait, and South Korea.
Finding value in waste
Aeternal Upcycling unlocks the value in plastic “waste.”
We convert the most common end-of-life plastics into key ingredients for high-performance lubricants.
Every year,
353 million
tons of plastic are thrown away.
In the US, over
90%
of plastic waste is landfilled or incinerated.
