Recycling Technologies has been shortlisted for the prestigious annual Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) awards in 2016. We have been selected as a finalist for the Best Business Start Up 2016. This year’s IChemE Global Awards are being held in Manchester, UK, on 3 November 2016.
The University of West England is working with waste-to-energy specialist Recycling Technologies to test if a fuel, called Plaxx, made from mixed plastic waste can be used to power ship engines. Adrian Griffiths, CEO of Recycling Technologies, said: “This research will allow Recycling Technologies to characterise the use of Plaxx for use in diesel engines …
Adrian Haworth has written an original article about a proposed circular solution to plastic waste. “Plastic has a significant role to play in achieving a sustainable future. Global production has topped 300 million metric tons per annum, a figure expected to double in the next 20 years. However, the systems for dealing with plastic waste …
Recycling Technologies’ highly innovative PlaxxTM fuel is created from residual mixed plastic waste that is not amenable to direct recycling and would otherwise go to landfill. The company is working with Ricardo to characterise the use of this recycled, low sulphur fuel as a substitute for fossil based heavy fuel oil (HFO) and diesel in …
Recycling Technologies has successfully produced Plaxx™ from its commercial scale pilot plant. A chemical recycling technology that can propel plastic into the Circular Economy, offering a way to boost the recycling of plastic from 10% to 90% across the world. “This is not only great news for RT but also for the global environment. We …
New research will test whether Plaxx™, a fuel made from mixed plastic waste, can be used as an alternative to crude derived fuels in industrial and marine engines. SWINDON, 28th JULY 2016 – The research, funded by Innovate UK and ESPRC will be led by Associate Professor Farid Dailami, Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL), in partnership with …
Recycling Technologies has been featured in several online news feeds in the recycling and marine technologies area. “Swindon-based Recycling Technologies [RT] has developed a process for recycling end of life plastic into Plaxx™, a valuable, clean hydrocarbon product. The process has been demonstrated at laboratory levels for some time but now it has been shown …
