Plastics-to-SAF: Clean Planet Unveils UK’s First Waste-to-Fuel Technology

At the 2025 SAF Global Summit in London, Clean Planet Technologies CEO and Clean Planet Energy CTO Andrew Odjo unveiled the UK’s first plastics-to-SAF (P2SAF) technology, the proprietary “SAFe-P2SAF” system. This innovation converts hard-to-recycle mixed plastics into low-carbon aviation fuel that meets strict standards and can be blended with conventional jet fuel using existing infrastructure.

The company highlighted that SAFe-P2SAF can cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 70% compared to fossil jet fuel, while diverting thousands of tons of plastic waste from landfills and incineration. Positioned as both a climate and waste solution, the technology addresses rising pressure on traditional SAF feedstocks like HEFA. With the EU’s ReFuelEU 2% SAF mandate taking effect in 2025 and the UK advancing SAF policy, Clean Planet plans to secure ASTM certification, launch its first pilot facility later this year, and expand partnerships to accelerate commercial deployment.
