MICRO RECYCLING PODS

Micro Recycling. Massive Impact.

Community-run recycling, our Micro Recycling technology empowers local operators to turn plastic waste into high-value raw material, creating sustainable jobs, boosting community wealth and driving a circular economy where plastic waste is an opportunity.

The Business Model

Ocean Plastic Technologies Micro Recycling Solutions enable communities to leverage technology to create a sustainable revenue stream from upcycled plastic. Funded through grants, social initiatives, external partners and corporates, this encourages recycling in communities and contributes towards the creation of a circular economy.

Scalable, Decentralised Systems

The Process

Our equipment and processes result in qualified and densified recycled plastic.

Collector Network

Operators establish a network of collectors in the community who deliver and are paid for plastic.

Sorting & Separating

Waste plastic is sorted by type and any labels and lids are removed - ready for processing.

Processing

OPT technology shreds, washes and dries waste plastic turning it into high-quality raw material.

Densification

Densified material is easier and more cost-effective to transport to a centralised hub for granulation.

Scalable, Proven Technology

Proven business model in which Micro Recycling equipment is designed, manufactured and assembled and deployed across the world.
Proprietary engineering to handle ALL types of plastic waste.
Micro Recycling Pods (MRP's) are mobile and can be placed in communities, distribution centres, waste collection centres or harbours - anywhere plastic waste is generated.
Each pod can operate as a standalone unit or as part of a Hub-and-Spoke system.
Each Micro Recycling Pod can be equipped with processing capacity ranging from 25kg to 100kg of plastic per hour
Track and Trace software provides a transparent and measurable source for the amount of recycled plastic that goes back into the supply chain.
Enables a circular economy and delivers scalable impact.

Hub-and-Spoke Model

In the hub-and-spoke model, low-volume Micro Recycling Pods (MRPs) are placed directly in communities where plastic waste is generated.
The operator sorts and separates the plastic after which it is washed and shredded in the MRP.
Pre-processed material is then delivered to a central hub facility where it undergoes a hot wash and drying cycle, followed by granulation.

Granulation increases density and quality which increases the price point.
Densification also makes it easier and more cost-effective to transport the final material.
The material is recycled to a higher value and appropriately processed to re-enter the supply chain.

Track & Trace Technology

Blockchain-based track-and-trace technology provides trackable input and verified output.
Full transparency from collection to processing, with verified data at every stage.
Real-time tracking of plastic volumes, material types and movement across the value chain.
Proof of compliance with EPR regulations, backed by tamper-proof records.
Third-party verifiable data for audit-ready documentation.
Scalable across geographies, enabling transparent EPR performance across multiple regions.

Delivering on Sustainable Development Goals

Based on ethical and sustainable business practices, our innovative Micro Recycling Solutions align with many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We alleviate poverty by enabling communities to monetise plastic waste.

We empower women and youth to build sustainable businesses and become successful entrepreneurs.

Our self-contained water reticulation system filters out micro plastics, preventing plastic from entering the eco system.

Our model contributes to the growth of economic wellbeing through the scaling of Micro Recycling abilities.

First of its kind Micro Recycling Solutions that enable recycling at the source of the problem and that can be run off-grid using renewable sources.

Through our solutions, everyone in a community can participate and benefit from the economic opportunities afforded by plastic recycling.

Our Micro Recycling Solutions contribute to sustainability through localised recycling programmes.

We are enabling a Circular Plastic Economy - taking single use plastic and allowing it to be recycled multiple times so that single use becomes an obsolete term.
