Resiclo’s modular chemical recycling plant is a cutting-edge solution designed to tackle the pressing issue of plastic waste management. By utilizing catalytic thermolysis, the plant can efficiently convert mixed, contaminated, or hard-to-recycle plastics into high-quality circular oil, which serves as a sustainable feedstock for petrochemical production.

The modular design of the plant allows for scalability and flexibility, making it suitable for deployment in various industrial and geographic settings. This innovative technology not only helps in reducing plastic waste but also contributes to lowering emissions, promoting energy efficiency, and facilitating ease of replication.

The Kilpilahti reference plant in Finland, developed in collaboration with Lamor, serves as a testament to the effectiveness of this solution. With an initial capacity of 10,000 tonnes per year and plans for expansion to 40,000 tonnes by 2026, the plant showcases the potential for large-scale impact.

Furthermore, the resulting circular oil produced by the plant meets ISCC+ standards, ensuring its quality and suitability for demanding applications such as food-grade packaging. By aligning with EU regulatory mandates and climate goals, this solution plays a crucial role in bridging the gap in plastic recycling and promoting a more sustainable future.
