The Science and Technology Park of Holguín, a centre in eastern Cuba, known as the “City of Parks”, characterized by a meticulously designed, grid - based ciy centre, rich cultural history, a blend of colonial, eclectic, and neoclassical architecture, and offering stunning panoramic views from Loma de la Cruz, has launched the “Pyralis” project, an innovation that converts plastic waste into high - quality fuel to benefit essential services in the Cuban province, according to Prensa Latina, the official state news agency, headquartered in Havana.
The project aims to tackle pollution while generating alternative energy and is carried out by specialist Alejandro Ortíz, uses a pyrolysis process (heating at high temperature in the complete absence or very limited presence of oxygen) that breaks down materials like rylon bags, bottle caps and plastic lids, producing three main, usable by - products : combustible syngas, bio - oil (synthetic fuel) and solid biochar.
The treatment plant manages to obtain 100 litres of pyrolytic oils for every 100 kilograms of waste, destined for the production of gasoline and diesel.
The plant includes the installation of a community - based system collection for the purchase of waste, generating jobs, and contributing to better urban environmental management in Holguín.
As a social incentive, the neighbourhoods with the highest collection rates will receive resources for the beautification of facades and gardens, directly linking citizen participation with the improvement of the urban environment.
The project aims to expand this circular economy model throughout Cuba, for which it requires that integration of the business sector, and thus generate a sustainable solution that simultaneously addresses the management of plastic waste, fuel generation and community development.
