UK-based Recycling Technologies Ltd is on a mission to make plastic a more sustainable material. Currently, 88% of the plastic used in the world is either buried, burnt or leaked into the environment. This means that the world only recycles 12% of the plastic waste generated each year. Recycling Technologies, a research, engineering, and manufacturing company, has developed innovative technologies to turn hard-to-recycle plastic waste, such as polystyrene and flexible packaging, into feedstocks for new plastic production. Our first commercial product, the RT7000, is modular and mass-producible, designed to fit onto existing waste and recycling sites, providing a scalable solution to recycle waste plastic anywhere in the world
