Our Process
and Products
Converting end-of-life plastics to valuable circular products used to produce new plastics.
Unlocking value from waste plastic
Existing recycling technologies have been crucial in reframing plastic waste as a valuable commodity. However, economic, logistical, and technological factors mean the scope of these solutions is limited, and as much as 85% of plastic waste still ends up in landfill and incineration.
Chemical recycling converts plastic waste streams that cannot be recycled through current technologies into valuable petrochemical resources which are then processed to create new virgin-quality plastics and other industrial commodities.
In contrast with existing recycling solutions, outputs from our process go on to create recycled plastic products with the same quality as those from virgin fossil-fuels. These recycled products can also be recycled again and again; offering one of many crucial solutions necessary for a fully circular plastics economy.
Our patented pyrolysis process produces four key products:
Pyrolysis Oils
A circular naphtha substitute used in the production of virgin-quality recycled plastics. Adjustable collection technology allows us to fine tune the oils to meet partner specifications.
Recycled Waxes
Hydrocarbon waxes with various circular industrial and consumer applications.
Pyrolysis Gas
Gas to be used to thermally self-sustain our pyrolysis process, with potential for future circular uses.
Pyrolysis Char
Carbon-rich residue containing valuable elements with recovery potential

Our process
Our end-to-end plant consists of our proprietary Pyrolysis and Liquid Hydrocarbon Recovery technologies integrated with low-risk industry standard components.
1. Screening incoming feedstock
Waste plastic feedstock is screened to ensure size and polymer type compliance with Itero technology.
2. Hydrocarbon conversion
One module converts 27,000 tons of feedstock per annum into smaller hydrocarbons via thermal cracking; thermally self-sustained using pyrolysis gas.
3. Hydrocarbon recovery
Tunable condensers separate hydrocarbon product fractions by condensation, ensuring they meet customer specifications.
4. Capturing excess gas
Uncondensed pyrolysis gases are cleaned and fed back into the system to generate heat for the hydrocarbon conversion process.
Our technology in action
Our technology is already operating at our UK R&D facility and is rapidly being scaled for deployment at our at-scale demonstration plant.
