Plastic is one of the most polluting kinds of solid waste. It breaks down very slowly and harms marine and land wildlife, and global volumes keep rising.
Researchers have tried many ways to degrade plastic or turn it into something useful. The most practical approach recovers it as raw material for new, long-lasting products.
Our recycling technology partner does exactly that, turning mixed plastic waste into paving and roof tiles, PET sheet, structural profiles and even railway sleepers. Waste becomes a resource, and less plastic ends up in landfill or the sea.
