Clean Planet Technologies joined aviation, fuel, investment and policy leaders at the Sustainable Aviation Futures Congress 2026 in Amsterdam, as the industry continues to focus on how Sustainable Aviation Fuel can move from ambition to large-scale delivery.
SAF is widely recognised as one of the most important tools available to help decarbonise aviation, but the challenge now is delivery: building projects, securing supply chains, reaching Final Investment Decision and producing fuel at a scale and cost the market can support.
The Congress was an opportunity to contribute to that discussion and to show how non-recyclable waste plastics could form part of the wider SAF feedstock landscape.
Non-recyclable plastics remain one of the world’s most difficult waste streams. Worldwide over 80% of these materials are landfilled, exported, incinerated or lost to the environment.
Clean Planet Technologies is working to recover value from this material by converting it through pyrolysis and upgrading into products that can support the aviation fuel sector.
Clean Planet was represented on stage by Dr Andrew Odjo, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, and Dr Katerina Garyfalou, Chief Operating Officer, who both spoke as part of the event programme. The sessions explored the role of alternative SAF pathways, the technologies and feedstocks that may shape the market beyond 2030, and the importance of broadening the industry’s approach beyond existing routes such as HEFA.
In addition Clean Planet's Head of Operations, Mark Oldam and R&D Production Manager, Liubov Belousova, represented the company.
Clean Planet Technologies used its stand to show physical samples from its plastics-to-fuel pathway, helping visitors follow the journey from non-recyclable waste plastics through to an aviation-fuel-range product.
SAF demand is increasing, but no single pathway or feedstock will be enough on its own. The industry will need a mix of technologies, a broader range of inputs and projects that can demonstrate both environmental value and commercial viability.
For Clean Planet Technologies, that reinforces the importance of developing pathways that address more than one challenge at once. Plastics-to-SAF has the potential to support aviation decarbonisation while also tackling difficult waste streams that already exist at scale.
Clean Planet Technologies thanks the organisers, speakers, delegates, partners and everyone who visited the stand, as well as the team whose work made it possible to present the company’s technology and products at the Congress.
