Frequently Asked Questions

JAB Innovations is a 501c3 nonprofit that develops solar-powered microwave pyrolysis reactors. These reactors convert plastic waste into clean, high-performance fuel called Plastoline. We're building the technology to destroy plastic permanently.

Julian Alexander Brown, a 22-year-old self-taught inventor from Douglasville, Georgia. He built his first reactor at 17 and has developed five iterations of the technology, culminating in the Mark V solar mobile unit.

Yes. JAB Innovations, Inc. is a registered 501c3 tax-exempt organization with the IRS. Our EIN is 41-3420050. You can verify this through the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search.

The reactor uses microwave energy inside a sealed vacuum chamber to break plastic down to its hydrocarbon base. The vapor is distilled into gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel alternatives. The entire system is solar-powered with zero combustion, zero emissions, and zero waste byproducts.

Plastoline is a 110-octane fuel produced by our reactor. It has been independently tested by ASAP Labs and verified to be cleaner and higher-performing than standard pump fuel.

All common types: bottles, bags, containers, and packaging. No pre-sorting is required.

The primary goal is the complete destruction of plastic. Fuel is a useful byproduct. Uncontrolled plastic degradation in the environment produces far more harmful long-term emissions than controlled fuel combustion. The reactor eliminates microplastics and plastic pollution permanently.

Yes. JAB Innovations is a registered 501c3 nonprofit. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Stripe sends an automatic receipt for every donation.
