PDO Technologies Founder & CEO, Kevin DeWhitt, has spent 24 years actively engaged in the waste plastic conversion technology sector. In 2004, he founded Agilyx Corporation (then Plas2Fuel) and, along with Brent Bostwick and others, spent the next 12 years developing a commercial system capable of converting waste plastic into synthetic crude oil.

​

Kevin has been granted eight national patents and one international patent in this emerging field and is currently working on advanced technologies in the conversion space.

​

In 2012-13, Brent and the Agilyx team sold and successfully commissioned three 50-ton per day (TPD) Agilyx waste plastic conversion systems. These systems processed millions of pounds of plastic waste and sold thousands of barrels of synthetic crude oil into the US refining markets.

​

Mr. DeWhitt and Mr. Bostwick left Agilyx in the summer of 2014/2015 to refocus their efforts on small-scale approaches that could better serve local communities. They believe that properly scaled and implemented waste conversion technologies will lead to economically and environmentally sustainable outcomes.

 

Localized environmental restoration, job creation, and energy or new plastic production are the drivers behind the efforts of the PDO Technologies world-class team.

​

Today, the PDO team is comprised of seasoned professionals who have forged the fundamental understandings of chemical recycling. From chemical science and engineering to real-world hands-on experience, the PDO team leads the industry in expertise and experience.
