Innovative solutions for waste
Recycling Technologies
provides a machine and
a service to recycle
unsorted plastic waste.
Our flagship machine, the RT7000
utilises our advanced Fluidised
Bed Reactor, the WarwickFBR .
This system converts unsorted
Mixed Plastic Waste – that is
currently disposed of in landfill
or incinerators – into a low sulphur
hydrocarbon we call Plaxx . Our
system offers the lowest cost
environmentally responsible
solution for Mixed Plastic Waste.

The accumulation of
Mixed Plastic Waste
in landfill and oceans
is reaching colossal
proportions. Recycling
Technology’s machine,
the RT7000, converts Mixed
Plastic Wasted into Plaxx .

Plastic is a truly
versatile and valuable
material, so it’s not
surprising that its
production and use is
growing exponentially.
However, the acute problem of plastic
waste is forcing companies to use less than
ideal methods to discard it. They either bury it,
burn it or in some cases, dump it. At Recycling
Technologies, we offer a recycling system
that is an environmentally beneficial and
commercially attractive alternative.
Introducing the RT7000
Recycling Technologies has
developed an innovative modular
solution which converts Mixed
Plastic Waste into Plaxx™.

A DISTRIBUTED SOLUTION
MODULE 1. Unsorted Mixed Plastic Waste is
shredded and dried using standard techniques.
MODULE 2. The Mixed Plastic Waste undergoes
The RT7000 is sized to allow it to be
located at sites with Mixed Plastic Waste.
Advanced Thermal Treatment, producing a hot
hydrocarbon gas from which contamination is
removed.
This distributed approach removes the need for
costly transportation to centralised facilities.
MODULE 3. The clean gas is condensed to form
a clean low sulphur hydrocarbon we call Plaxx .
MODULAR CONSTRUCTION

The modular design allows assembly and
testing in our factory which is less costly and
disruptive for clients than on-site construction.
Our modular design allows

problem avoiding the need
for transporting waste.
PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
This unique approach to Mixed Plastic Waste
has been patented in the UK and international
applications have been filed.
Plaxx™
Plaxx is a valuable hydrocarbon product.
Solid at room temperature, Plaxx is easily
transported for multiple uses.

It can be used as a feedstock for more
plastic, closing the virtuous circle. Alternatively
it is a Slack Wax equivalent and can be sold
globally for this purpose. In making Plaxx , a
commodity product, Mixed Plastic Waste has
been recycled.

Alternatively Plaxx is a low sulphur Heavy
Fuel Oil, which can be used for heating,
power generation or marine propulsion.

This flexibility allows Mixed Plastic Waste
to be recycled in the most commercially
and environmentally beneficial way.

“ It is evident that this
SUSTAINABILITY AS A SERVICE
technology should have
financial, environmental and
economic benefits, not only
for Swindon Borough Council
but further afield as well.”
Recycling Technologies is working with
companies that currently have the problem of
Mixed Plastic Waste. We will provide an RT7000
on suitable customer sites and the personnel
to recycle Mixed Plastic Waste as a service. This
removes the need for our customers to invest in
facilities or to worry about the operations.
Recycling Technologies is delighted to be working with a range of academic and industrial
partners to ensure that the RT7000 is the definitive solution for Mixed Plastic Waste.

SUITABLE SITES
Ideally customers need to have space to
incorporate a layout such as above within a
covered area. If space is restricted some of
the layout can be housed externally. Sites
must be licensed for re ceiving and treating
waste and have the relevant permissions for
appropriate truck movements.
COMPLIANCE
Emissions from the RT7000 comply with the
all applicable legislation, Waste Incineration
Directives (WID) do not apply as waste is not
being combusted.
“Recycling Technology
provides the most
economically beneficial
solution to the problem of
Mixed Plastic Waste for
