Micro Recycling Pods

OPT enables the collection and processing of plastic waste at source through its Micro Recycling Pods (MRPs).

Our innovative Micro Recycling Pods develop entrepreneurs, create sustainable jobs, empower disadvantaged communities – all whilst cleaning up communities.

ESG / EPR Solution

  • Increased collection of all types of plastic

  • Higher overall rates of recycling in both urban and rural communities

  • MRPs can be placed anywhere - at shopping malls, distribution centres, community halls, schools, etc

  • Closing the gap between what is technically recyclable and what is actually recycled

  • Provides viable, sustainable and measurable source of recycled plastic for the existing supply chain

  • Fosters collaboration for a systemic solution and speeds up the transition to a circular economy

Waste diverted from landfills

Our MRPs clean up communities

Our MRPs enable the collection and processing of ALL waste plastics at source. Self contained units housed in 20” end-of-life containers, they work best when they are centrally situated in communities, shopping centres or even schools.

By monetising the collection of plastic, jobs are created for local collectors, pollution in the area is reduced and the waste plastic that would have been washed into our rivers and oceans is processed so that it re-enters the supply chain.
