Our impact

Plastic Energy’s achievements

  • Patented and proven recycling technology converts end-of-life plastic waste into an optimal feedstock (TACOIL™) for making clean recycled plastics used for food-grade packaging.
  • For every tonne of end-of-life plastic waste processed in Plastic Energy’s plants, hundreds of litres of TACOIL™ are produced.
  • The company is a signatory of the Ellen Macarthur Foundation’s New Plastics Economy Global Commitment - which is a commitment for using all TACOIL™ from its process to create new plastics, benefitting the circular economy.
  • Plastic Energy has a goal to recycle five million tonnes of plastic waste by 2030.

Wide technology take-up
