Recycle content alpha olefins and fatty alcohols

1. A method of utilizing a pyrolysis recycle content allotment, said method comprising:

a. a fatty alcohol manufacturer obtaining an alpha olefin composition from a supplier and either:

i. from said supplier, also obtaining a pyrolysis recycle content allotment or

ii. from any person or entity, obtaining a pyrolysis recycle content allotment without a supply of an alpha olefin composition from said person or entity transferring said pyrolysis recycle content allotment; and

b. said fatty alcohol manufacturer making a fatty alcohol composition (“fatty alcohol”) from any alpha olefin composition obtained from any source; and

c. either:

i. applying said pyrolysis recycle content allotment to fatty alcohol made by the supply of alpha olefin obtained in step (a); or

ii. applying said pyrolysis recycle content allotment to fatty alcohol not made by the supply of alpha olefin obtained in step (a), or

iii. depositing said pyrolysis recycle content allotment into a recycle inventory from which is deducted a recycle content value and applying at least a portion of said value to:

1. fatty alcohol to thereby obtain r-fatty alcohol, or

2. to a compound or composition other than fatty alcohol, or

3. both;

whether or not the recycle content value is obtained from a pyrolysis recycle content allotment obtained in step a(i) or step a(ii).

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said r-fatty alcohol derived from a recycle content alpha olefin composition (“r-alpha olefin”).

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said r-alpha olefin, or r-fatty alcohol is derived directly or indirectly from cracking r-pyoil or obtained from r-pygas.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein said, r-alpha olefin, or r-fatty alcohol is derived directly or indirectly from cracking r-pyoil in a gas furnace.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said fatty alcohol has associated with it, or contains, or is labelled, advertised, or certified as containing recycle content in an amount of at least 0.01 wt. %, based on the weight of the fatty alcohol composition.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a recycle content value is applied to the fatty alcohol composition through deducting recycle content value from a recycle inventory or reacting an r-alpha olefin to make said r-fatty alcohol.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the allotment can be contained in a recycle inventory created, maintained or operated by or for the fatty alcohol manufacturer.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the apportioning the recycle content among products made by a fatty alcohol manufacturer or the products made by any one entity or a combinations of entities among a Family of Entities of which the fatty alcohol manufacturer is a part, is a symmetric distribution of recycle content values among their product(s), and optionally at least one of the products is a fatty alcohol.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the supplier transfers a recycle content allotment to the fatty alcohol manufacturer and a supply of alpha olefin to the fatty alcohol manufacturer.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recycle content allotment is not associated with the alpha olefin supplied.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the supplier transfers a recycle content allotment to the fatty alcohol manufacturer and a supply of alpha olefin to the fatty alcohol manufacturer, and the recycle content allotment is associated with alpha olefin made by said supplier.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the alpha olefin supplied is a r-alpha olefin and at least a portion of the recycle content allotment being transferred is the recycle content in the r-alpha olefin supplied.

13. The method, of claim 1 , wherein the fatty alcohol manufacturer, or any person or entity among its Family of Entities:

a. deposits an allotment into a recycle inventory and stores it; or

b. deposits an allotment into a recycle inventory and applies a recycle content value from the recycle inventory to products other than fatty alcohol made by the fatty alcohol manufacturer, or

c. sells or transfers an allotment from the recycle inventory into which the allotment obtained as noted above was deposited, or

d. applies a recycle content value to fatty alcohol drawn from the recycle inventory.

14. The method, of claim 1 , wherein a recycle content value applied to fatty alcohol drawn from a recycle inventory is derived directly or indirectly from the pyrolysis of recycled waste.

15. The method, of claim 1 , wherein a fatty alcohol manufacturer or a person or entity among its Family of Entities obtains a supply of alpha olefin and an allotment, and at least a portion of the allotment is either:

a. applied to fatty alcohol made from the alpha olefin supplied;

b. applied to fatty alcohol not made by the supply of alpha olefin; or

c. deposited into a recycle inventory from which is deducted a recycle content value and applying at least a portion of the recycle content value to:

i. fatty alcohol to thereby obtain r-fatty alcohol, or

ii. to a compound or composition other than fatty alcohol, or

iii. both; or

d. deposited into a recycle inventory and stored.

16. The method, of claim 1 , wherein r-alpha olefin is used to make said r-fatty alcohol.
