Our Story
Plastic Recycling Agent
Weapon X, Inc. has invented a patent pending plastic recycling agent, which allows recyclers to combine, grind and re-form Polyethylene Terephthalate (PETE), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC-U) (among others) into plastic chips to be used to create new 100% recycled products.

The Problem
The Plastic Problem
Plastic is one of the world’s most-used materials. Technically sophisticated, lightweight and cheap, plastics suit a broad spectrum of uses. The problem with plastic is not how it's used, but end-of-life management of products made from plastic. Since 1950, half of all plastic has ended up in landfills or dumped in the wild.
What percentage is recycled?
Only 9% of used plastic has been adequately recycled. Every year, it is estimated that 4 to 12 million metric tons of plastic ends up in the ocean. Developed economies (with regulations that encourage recycling) have recycling rates of 30%. Developing economies with a minimal industrial base have recycling rates at 1%.The amount of plastic used has grown over the past 30 years, reaching 300+ million metric tons in 2017. This growth is driven in large part by the demands of the Chinese and Indian middle classes and demand may double by 2050.
Single Use Plastics
Over 90% of raw plastic is produced from oil or natural gas. Roughly half of our global annual plastic production is destined for a single-use product. Humans purchase about 1,000,000 plastic bottles per minute. Americans purchase 50 billion water bottles per year. Only 23% of plastic bottles are recycled in the U.S.
The main increase in plastic production is packaging. Plastic packaging was 42% of all non-fiber plastic produced in 2015, and it also made up 52% of plastics thrown away. There are 3,091 active landfills in the United States.
