Overview

Global plastic demand continues to grow, yet more than 90% of plastic waste is not recycled, creating significant environmental harm while leaving polymer producers dependent on fossil feedstocks. Regulatory pressure, recycled‑content mandates, and corporate net‑zero commitments are now driving strong demand for circular polymer feedstocks.

DeepTech Recycling (DTR) is a UK‑based advanced recycling technology company commercialising a unique and independently validated chemical recycling platforms for hard‑to‑recycle plastic waste. Its proprietary, patented technology converts mixed and contaminated plastics into Plaxx®, a premium recycled synthetic oil and wax product that can be refined and used as drop‑in feedstock for the production of virgin‑quality plastics and chemicals.
