Reshaping recycling technology
Our recycling technology is tailored to the large volume of plastic resources that is landfilled or incinerated today.
Only a fraction of plastic waste is recycled today. With our chemical recycling technology, various types of plastic waste can be chemically broken down with heat, resulting in output oil, gas, and carbon. This output can replace virgin resources in new products, enabling circular value chains for plastic.
Chemical recycling is a process where carbon-based materials such as plastics are transformed to oil, gas, and carbon. Our technology utilizes pyrolysis – a thermal decomposition method, where materials are broken down with heat in an inert environment.
Our core technology is induction heating
Reshaping recycling technology with induction heating
With higher energy efficiency than conventional heating technology, induction revolutionises chemical recycling. Its precise zone heating ensures less heat loss, better process control, and in return, improved control of the output.
Proven technology
Proven technology and years of experience with pyrolysis and induction, allow us to provide a scalable solution for recycling. With our partners, we are now piloting a recycling plant utilizing induction heating.

Induction heating revolutionises chemical recycling. Precise zone heating ensures less heat loss, better output control, energy efficiency, and reduced emissions.
Chemical recycling is a process where carbon-based materials such as plastics are transformed to oil, gas, and carbon.
Our technology utilizes pyrolysis – a thermal decomposition method, where materials are broken down with heat in an inert environment.
Recuro utilizes induction heating, which provides better control of the temperature of the recycling process, and in turn, better control of the output.
Induction is a heating method where magnetic currents are used generate heat. It is commonly used in industry, but also in everyday items such as modern stovetops.
The precise zone-heating ensures less heat loss and is more energy efficient than other heating methods such as conventional electricity and gas-based heating.
We contribute to reduced emissions from plastic incineration, by instead reintroducing the resources to the value chain. In addition, the main energy source for our recycling process is electricity, which enable us to recycle with low emissions. Down the line, our output can even replace fossil resources, contributing to a longer lifespan for plastic resources, and circular value chains.
Output distribution depends on the feedstock waste. Optimal waste composition results in approximately 65% oil, 30% gas, and 2-3% carbon output.
In Recuro we build partnerships upstream to ensure a steady input flow. We receive plastic waste, recycle it, and deliver recycled output. Our output is refined by our downstream customers and utilized by the petrochemical industry in new production cycles and products.
We utilize plastics which is otherwise incinerated, such as complex products and multilayer plastics. Our input flow is partly from households and partly from industry.
