One of the 40 participants that collaborated on the report was Swindon, UK based Recycling Technologies. The company has developed technology which enables unrecyclable mixed plastics to be recycled into a hydrocarbon product it calls Plaxx™.
“Our approach utilises a series of scaled chemical processes to convert residual plastic waste into Plaxx™ – an ultra-low Sulphur hydrocarbon product,” commented Adrian Griffiths, CEO, Recycling Technologies. “We hope that this will help the UK and other nations achieve the new European circulatory targets and reduce the need to import virgin oil feedstock.”
