THE URGENCY OF PLASTIC POLLUTION

Plastic Recycling Is Broken

Our pollution problem is partly due to the fact that globally, plastic recycling is broken. This industry has been around for more than 50 years yet only 9% of the world’s plastic is recycled.

WE ARE CLOSING THE LOOP: MULTI-USE PLASTICS, LESS ENERGY

Plastics We Collect And Recycle

Recycling plastics saves up to 90% of the energy used in producing virgin plastic, meaning significantly less greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve this, we collect plastic waste, sorting by type and grade. In the next step, we wash and recycle into hot washed flakes and pellets ready for re-use by FMCGs and plastic manufacturers, thus replacing virgin plastics and ensuring a circular economy.
