Recycling of plastic wastes
With expertise in chemical recycling and two registered patents, POLYKEY develops depolymerisation strategies to recover value from challenging plastic waste streams.
We work with complex waste streams, including blends, multilayer materials, and specific polymer mixtures, first assessing their composition and identifying the most suitable recycling approach.
From waste characterisation to reaction development, we focus on tailored depolymerisation processes under mild conditions that can convert plastic waste into valuable and reusable chemical building blocks.
Plastic Waste Characterisation
Analyse the composition of plastic waste streams to identify polymer types, blends, multilayers, and other components that may affect the recycling process.
Tailored Depolymerisation
Develop recycling reactions adapted to a specific plastic, polymer mixture, or waste stream, with a focus on selective and efficient depolymerisation.
Blends & Multilayers
Address complex plastic waste containing multiple polymers or multilayer structures that are difficult to process through conventional recycling routes.
Design for Recycling
Apply eco-design principles to identify material and formulation changes that can improve recyclability and enable more effective chemical recycling at end of life.
Whether you have a specific plastic waste stream, a complex blend, or a product that needs to be designed for better recycling, we can develop the right depolymerisation approach.
