Recycle Plastic to Make Fuels
At a recycling plant in Swindon, 80 miles west of London, an experiment to turn used plastics into oil is under
way. If successful, the portable “chemical recycling” plants used in the process — designed to fit into shipping
containers — will one day be sold worldwide. Driven by pressure to cut the world’s reliance on finite fossil fuels,
chemical recycling pioneers hope that producing oil from plastic waste will provide an alternative source of
hydrocarbons. The Swindon plant is operated by Recycling Technologies, a UK business that employs about 130
staff and has raised nearly £40m in equity and grant funding since its creation a decade ago.
Recycling Technologies’ plant uses pyrolysis, a process in which polymers are broken down with extreme heat.
Its RT7000 machine heats mixed plastics in the absence of oxygen — a process known as “cracking” — to
produce gas. Through distillation, this vapor is turned into products ranging from heavy wax and oils to light
oils and gas. These can provide the building blocks for new polymers, or be used as fuel.
An RT7000 can turn 7,000 tonnes of plastic — including hard-to-recycle waste such as polystyrene and flexible
packaging — into 5,250 tonnes of liquid oil, called Plaxx, annually. Recycling Technologies sends 70 per cent of
its Plaxx to Neste, a Finnish producer of sustainable fuel and plastic feedstock. The remaining 30 per cent of
the Plaxx is used as a wax equivalent to make candles and paint, while the leftover gas and char are consumed
as energy sources within the process.

Nevertheless, big obstacles — scalability, poor waste collection infrastructure, high set-up costs, and
uncompetitive pricing when crude oil is cheap — must be overcome to make this recycling viable.
Notes:
