[1][2] The plastics-to-energy industrial complex is under development, primarily to address the dire situation of plastic waste in the city of Kinshasa.

[1][2] The owner/developers of this plant, plan to take 200 tonnes of used plastics every day and convert it into electricity, industrial lubricants, diesel fuel and solid carbon (char).

The process involved is called pyrolysis, where the plastic waste is heated at a temperature above 400 °C (752 °F), in an environment starved of oxygen.

[1][2] The power station is under development by Clean-Seas Inc., a "provider of waste management technology solutions", an American enterprise, based in the state of Delaware.

Clean-Seas Inc. will design, develop, build, operate and maintain the power plant for 30 years after commissioning.
