Clean Planet announces strategic investment from FTAI Infrastructure

Plastic waste management company Clean Planet Group said it has received a strategic investment from FTAI Infrastructure (NASDAQ: FIP), managed by Fortress Investment Group.

The announcement comes a week after Clean Planet Group announced its plans to launch UK’s first plastic-to-SAF facility in the UK.

The expanded investment builds on the previous collaboration between FTAI Infrastructure and Clean Planet Group in the US and reflects a growing ambition to advance Clean Planet’s technology, project pipeline and international market opportunity.

The strengthened partnership broadens FTAI Infrastructure’s support beyond individual US project development to the wider Clean Planet platform.

Clean Planet Technologies’ progress in plastics-to-SAF aligns closely with FTAI Infrastructure’s long-standing commitment to sustainability and energy-transition assets and reflects the growing importance of SAF as a scalable, near-term solution for reducing aviation emissions.

Last month, Clean Planet Technologies received grant support through the UK Government’s Department for Transport’s SAF Clearing House.

“FTAI Infrastructure has been a committed and highly aligned partner, and this next phase of investment enables our ambition to scale internationally,” said Andrew Odjo, chief technology officer and co-founder of Clean Planet Group.

“Beyond our established advanced recycling business, we are building a technology-led platform that can supply lower-carbon fuels to sectors that urgently need them, which makes this a particularly exciting moment for the Clean Planet.”

The extended partnership will support the continued rollout of Clean Planet’s ecoPlant facilities, which produce circular feedstocks for downstream petrochemical manufacturers, further development of its clean fuels technology portfolio, and progression towards commercial-scale SAF production.
