We have developed a scientific breakthrough based on green chemistry and biotechnologies that allows us to break down and recover every single component of a composite or technical textile and use all the materials again without any waste. We have proven it works, and it needs to become the new industry standard for the sake of the natural environment. Our Extricko technologies are built around a modified pressolysis system to recycle technical textiles and composites. This superheated steam “pressolysis” technology is a unique recycling solution. A recycling solution that doesn’t use organic solvents can be tailored to recycle specific plastics and operate at a lower carbon footprint than pyrolysis or incineration. We are developing metabolic upcycling solutions, to not just address challenges with legacy polymers, but build products for the future economy.
I am one of the world experts in pressolysis, utilising these advances to deliver high quality recycling for the UK economy. I have a PhD in green chemistry and industrial biotechnology and have worked to scale up systems for since 2020. This has including four years as one of the co-founders of Sustainable Extricko, applying pressolysis to the technical textiles and composites markets.
