Bid to deal with our own plastics moves apace

摘要

When MRW last featured Recycling Technologies (RT) in 2016, the company was in the midst of working with Swindon Borough Council to launch a prototype machine capable of turning any plastic waste into an oil-based product called Plaxx. At that point, RT focused on using Plaxx to create low-sulphur marine fuel, with the idea of further refining it to produce diesel for vehicles at a later stage. It is now poised to open a factory capable of assembling 200 RT7000 machines, each of which will be capable of turning 7,000 tonnes a year of plastic waste into feedstock for chemical firms - a true circular economy idea of plastic back into plastic.
