Sporadicate was founded on a simple observation: the plastics that municipal recycling systems reject most often are the ones piling up fastest. PET and HDPE recycling is mature. But plastics #4 through #7? Contaminated materials? Mixed waste streams? The infrastructure simply didn't exist.
Our integrated platform combines three proven technologies—pyrolysis, mycelium biodegradation, and advanced PET processing—into one municipal-scale facility. The result is a system that handles what traditional recyclers can't, creates products municipalities actually need, and eliminates microplastic residues that contaminate soil and water.
This isn't theoretical. It's operational, scalable, and designed specifically for the budget realities and political demands that municipal leaders face.

Pyrolysis: Proven Chemistry, Municipal Scale
Thermal decomposition converts plastic polymers into diesel-grade fuel. No combustion. No toxic emissions. The process handles plastics #2, #4, #5, #6, and #7—exactly what traditional recyclers reject. The output powers your fleet.


Mycelium Biodegradation: Nature's Solution, Engineered
Specialized fungi break down contaminated plastics at the molecular level. The result is nutrient-rich compost—completely free of microplastics—that can be safely returned to the earth as compost. It's a biological recycling process for materials that are too degraded for mechanical processing.


Advanced PET Processing: High-Value Output
PET (#1) gets processed into industrial-grade 3D printing filament. That filament creates durable civic infrastructure, including benches, shelters, wayfinding systems, and park furniture. Residents see their plastic bottles transformed into public amenities, closing the loop visibly.

Sporadicate collaborates with leading research institutions to push the boundaries of environmental biotechnology:


Oregon State University & Idaho State University:
Workforce development programs, applied research labs, and student design competitions create the next generation of environmental engineers while delivering real civic infrastructure.


Montana Technical University & Oregon State University:
Joint research into ectomycorrhizal fungi and tree-based remediation extends our mission beyond plastic waste into Superfund site restoration and contaminated land recovery.
These partnerships ensure that our technology evolves in tandem with the science, and our municipal partners benefit from cutting-edge solutions.
Public-Private Partnerships Built on Transparency
We structure partnerships as five-year agreements with annual performance reviews. Every partnership includes:
Public KPI Dashboard: Monthly reporting on tonnage processed, contamination rates, fuel delivered, infrastructure created, and program costs
Embedded Operations Staff: Sporadicate employees work day-to-day with your Public Works team, paid by us, credited to your program cost
Predictable Economics: Fixed per-ton processing with built-in fuel discounts and staffing credits
Community Visibility: Infrastructure labeled with your city's name and QR codes linking to program performance
Council Briefings: Regular presentations with data, outcomes, and recommendations




We believe municipalities shouldn't have to choose between environmental responsibility and fiscal discipline. Our mission is to eliminate the false choice by delivering integrated plastic waste solutions that improve both.
Near-zero means processing all major plastic types, eliminating microplastic residues, and creating circular value streams. Real-world economics means costs that compete with landfill tipping fees, benefits that reduce fleet fuel expenses, and infrastructure that demonstrates ROI to taxpayers.
The result is a replicable model that positions your municipality as a leader in practical sustainability and fiscal responsibility.
