Problem
The accumulation of plastic waste, particularly low-grade and mixed plastics, poses a significant environmental challenge, with a large percentage ending up in landfills or incinerated, leading to emissions and resource depletion. Current recycling methods often struggle to process these complex plastic streams effectively.
Solution
Resiclo develops and operates modular chemical recycling plants that convert difficult-to-recycle plastic waste into ISCC+ certified circular oil, a direct substitute for fossil-based feedstocks. Utilizing catalytic thermolysis, Resiclo's technology breaks down mixed plastic waste into its molecular components, enabling the creation of new plastics and chemicals. This process reduces reliance on virgin raw materials, lowers CO₂ emissions by 40-75% compared to incineration, and supports a circular economy by transforming waste into valuable resources. Resiclo acts as a technology integrator, optimizing process quality by incorporating its proprietary know-how.
Target Audience
Resiclo's primary customers include private waste handlers seeking to boost profitability and reduce landfill fees, public sector entities aiming to achieve EU recycling targets and cut emissions, and brand owners and chemical producers looking to secure high-quality, certified circular feedstock.
