Omni Conversion Technologies – formerly known as Plasco Conversion Technologies – said this week it closed a US$35-million deal to sell one of its waste-conversion units to the Larsen and Lam Climate Initiative, a non-profit foundation led by California philanthropists Chris Larsen and Lyna Lam.

An Ottawa company that was once hailed as a green energy trailblazer says it’s ready to bring its trash-to-energy technology to market five years after filing for creditor protection.
Formerly known as Plasco Conversion Technologies, serial entrepreneur Rod Bryden’s firm has rebranded itself in preparation for what it hopes will be a breakthrough 2021.

“We’ve kept quiet and focused entirely on putting this product into what we hope and believe is perfect shape,” Bryden, who launched the company 15 years ago, told OBJ this week.
