ABOUT
Green Polymer Technologies, Inc. was founded in 2000
by Dr. Donald Sullivan and Mr. Stephen Lynch, in order to bring to market
the process and technology developed by Dr. Sullivan. Since inception,
the company has focused on refining and improving the technology; in
order to make it commercially viable, to produce consistent results
using a wide spectrum of feedstock, and to develop a variety of products
attractive in terms of both cost and utility.
Donald Sullivan Ph.D, President
Don Sullivan has over 25 years experience in the research and development
of cutting edge technology. He spent 15 years working as a Principal
Investigator for Mission Research Corporation in the fields of lasers,
plasma physics, pulse power, and high energy accelerators. Dr. Sullivan
is the inventor of several unique high power microwave generators. He
has authored numerous patents, published papers, and scientific reports.
Based upon the success of his R&D efforts, he was able to establish
and manage a division at MRC with over two dozen technical personnel,
and an annual budget in excess of $4 million. Dr. Sullivan served on
the MRC Board of Directors. The company now has annual sales in excess
of $120 million.
Over the last ten years, Dr. Sullivan has concentrated
his efforts on developing and commercializing mixed plastic recycling
technologies. This led to his invention of the Green Polymer process
that is now licensed and being used to manufacture high value commercial
recycled plastic products. He has established an extensive R&D plastic
recycling laboratory that will be used to continually improve the process,
lead product development efforts, and assist licensees with quality
assurance and control.

Manhattan College, and an MS in Planetary Science from the California
Institute of Technology. He did his doctoral work in chemical and nuclear
engineering at the University of New Mexico.
