Changing World Technologies, Inc. (CWT) is at the forefront of revolutionizing renewable energy by changing the way in which organic waste materials are utilized, thereby providing a platform for sustainable development. What was once deemed as “waste” and transported to a landfill, can now be converted to a reliable stream of renewable energy, minimizing global warming, and improving our quality of life.
CWT’s subsidiaries and affiliate companies include:
Resource Recovery Corporation, Inc.
(RRC) was incorporated in May 1996 for the purpose of developing and marketing an emerging technology known as the Thermal Depolymerization Process (TDP).
Thermo-Depolymerization Process, LLC
(TDP, LLC) was formed in June 1998 for the purpose of developing a demonstration facility for the TDP technology. Process refinements were accomplished over the next five years as the TDP evolved into a more directed Thermal Conversion Process (TCP).
Renewable Environmental Solutions, LLC
(RES) was formed in 2000 to develop the processing of agricultural waste and low-value streams throughout the world. RES, wholly owned by CWT, has the United States’ first operational bio-refinery situated in Carthage, Missouri, producing an indigenous supply of Renewable Diesel from agricultural and livestock wastes.
As we continue to carry around items that insist on requiring electricity to work, portable-even wearable-energy-generating systems are looking very attractive. A group of researchers has recently looked into the use of piezoelectric materials, which generate an electric field or potential when placed under mechanical stress. By placing these materials on a rubbery or flexible surface, they created a material that can generate the highest rate of energy conversion reported for similar systems. While these are still far from the market, the metrics of the flexible piezoelectrics so far are very promising.
