LightManufacturing, a US-based solar technology company, has developed a technology that replaces the use of fossil fuels in plastic rotational moulding.

Solar rotational moulding (SRM) uses sun-tracking mirrors called heliostats to concentrate solar thermal energy on a rotational mould. The heat from the sun directly warms the mould, melting the plastic with zero greenhouse gas emissions at zero fuel cost.
