"Virtually every piece of plastic that was ever made still exists in some shape or form (with the exception of the small amount that has been incinerated)" — Resynergi

Resynergi's plastic to fuel conversion system

Building on our successful effort of reducing plastic waste by certifying our vape carts inherently child resistant, CannaCraft turned its attention to reclaiming the regulated plastics we couldn't eliminate.

The Resynergi process is an evolution in recycling technology that takes plastic packaging waste and turns it into usable fuel. Microwaves power this unique system and the clean fuels produced are used as an alternative to refined oil products. In 2019, we began work with Resynergi, by reclaiming plastic for conversion into fuel from large scale cannabis events and our own facility. This R&D took place at Resynergi's Sonoma County based facility.

In 2020 we are launching our pilot plastic collection and recycling program. We're installing receptacles to harvest plastic packaging as shoppers leave dispensaries, transporting it to the Resynergi facility and beginning the plastic/fuel conversion process. It is our aspirational intention to someday run our fleet of delivery vehicles on fuel from repurposed cannabis packaging.

Airfield Supply Co.

We are excited Airfield Supply Co. - a sustainability oriented retailer in San Jose, CA will help CannaCraft pilot the next phase of this program.

Beginning November 2020, people will be able to deposit their excess Cannabis plastic packaging - from any Cannabis Company, not just CannaCraft brands - at a receptacle inside their store for collection by Kind Distribution for delivery to Santa Rosa based Resynergi for conversion into fuel.
