Recycling Technologies Ltd

Recycling Technologies Ltd is a UK-based company founded in 2011 by Adrian Griffiths. Through a decade of research, engineering and collaboration with academia, it has developed a proprietary, patented technology to recycle mixed plastic waste. Our modular technology can be mass-produced to recycle plastic waste into feedstock for new plastic production. This solution can be installed at existing waste sites anywhere on the globe to help divert plastic waste away from landfill, incineration and leaking into our environment.

Our mission is to accelerate the evolution of plastic into a more sustainable material through innovation and technical excellence and to be a global force driving positive change towards a sustainable future.

The RT7000 is our proprietary technology which transforms plastic waste into chemical feedstock for plastic production. The machine uses a process called thermal cracking which breaks down the long chains of polymers into shorter chains through the use of heat in the absence of oxygen.

The RT7000 can process most types of plastics that are not routinely recycled, such as:

• soft and flexible packaging (e.g. films)
• multi-layered and laminated plastics (e.g. crisp packets)
• complex or even contaminated plastic (e.g. food trays)

This is a far wider variety of plastics than can be recycled through current methods.

The RT7000 is compact and modular, allowing for easy transportation in standard 20' ISO freight frames and quick onsite installation.

Our technology is built to integrate with existing mechanical recycling infrastructure to increase the overall recycling capacity of both methods. The RT7000 is designed to bring the solution to the problem, avoiding unnecessary transportation of plastic waste and associated carbon emissions.
