A Vision for Sustainable Plastic Conversion​

Kevin DeWhitt, Founder & CEO of PDO Technologies, has been a pioneer in the waste plastic conversion technology sector for over 25 years.

​

In 2004, Kevin founded Agilyx Corporation (originally Plas2Fuel) alongside Brent Bostwick and a dedicated team, spending 12 years developing one of the first commercial systems capable of converting waste plastic into synthetic crude oil.

​

Throughout his career, Kevin has been awarded eight national patents and one international patent in this emerging field. His continued work in advanced waste conversion technologies is shaping the next generation of sustainable solutions and is poised to meet the growing complexities of global plastic waste management.

​

In 2012-2013, Brent and the Agilyx team successfully sold and commissioned multiple large-scale plastic conversion systems, processing millions of pounds of plastic waste and supplying synthetic crude oil to the U.S. refining market.

​

In 2014/2015, Kevin and Brent departed Agilyx to focus on a localized and more technologically advanced approach to plastic conversion—one that incorporates enhanced methodologies and processes to create feedstock for the production of new, virgin-grade plastics. Their vision was to develop a more adaptable and economically sustainable system that benefits local communities while achieving circularity at scale. They believe that properly scaled and implemented waste conversion technologies will be key to a truly sustainable circular economy.
