27 Mar 2019
Ken Mills Engineering Ltd (KME Ltd) are proud to announce that we have been chosen to partner up with Recycling Technologies, to help them achieve their goals of turning valuable plastic waste back into oil & Wax. We will be supplying the frontend plastic preparation line that will generate feedstock for their Chemical process plant.
Our system will have all the latest technology to help sort, dry, clean up and shred mixed waste plastic that would normally end up in landfills, be incinerated or exported overseas. We will provide a mix of material ready product for the Chemical Process that recycles plastic waste into Plaxx a valuable hydrocarbon products such as Oils and wax. The first system will be installed in Scotland and will be operational in early 2020.
In a world where 8 million tonnes of plastic waste enter our oceans every year, Recycling Technologies has developed a machine to recycle waste plastic back into oil – even plastics currently considered unrecyclable like crisp packets, films, black plastic and mixed residual streams.
