Vivakor (NASDAQ:VIVK) (NASDAQ: VIVK) is a U.S.-based energy technology company focused on developing and commercializing advanced waste conversion solutions. The firm specializes in proprietary catalytic conversion and thermal recovery processes designed to transform end-of-life materials—such as scrap tires, plastics and other biomass feedstocks—into valuable byproducts including pyrolysis oils, synthesis gas and carbon black. By applying patented technologies, Vivakor aims to provide environmentally sound alternatives to traditional disposal methods while unlocking new revenue streams from recycled commodities.
The company’s core offerings encompass both modular and full-scale processing systems that can be deployed in a variety of industrial settings. Vivakor’s technology platform enables customers to process mixed polymer streams, agricultural residues and rubber materials without the need for costly pre-sorting, reducing operational complexity. The resulting outputs can be further refined into fuels, chemical feedstocks or industrial-grade additives, allowing manufacturing and energy firms to integrate circular-economy practices into their value chains.
Founded in its current form in 2018, Vivakor traces its roots to earlier innovations in alternative energy and environmental services. The company is headquartered in Newport Beach, California, and operates a demonstration plant in Demopolis, Alabama, where it validates process parameters and scales production. Vivakor has also pursued collaborative projects and joint ventures, both domestically and abroad, to position its technology in markets that face growing regulatory pressure to manage solid waste and reduce carbon emissions.
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Glen R. Kindred, Vivakor continues to expand its intellectual property portfolio and refine its commercial strategy. The company’s management team combines expertise in chemical engineering, waste-to-energy systems and project development, guiding the business toward its goal of widespread deployment of sustainable resource-recovery solutions across North America and beyond.
