How Recycling as a Service Works

Turnkey Design

We design and deploy community-run Micro Recycling Solutions where plastic is generated - communities, distribution centres, waste collection centres - anywhere.

Process

Plastic is processed on-site at source: sorting, washing, drying and shredding, matched to local volumes and needs.

Logistics

Once processed, the volume of the plastic is greatly reduced making transportation - to central hubs for further processing or to manufacturers - far more cost-effective. 

Deliver

Recycling as a Service guarantees the delivery of densified, qualified raw material back into the supply chain - fully traceable and EPR-compliant. 

What You Get With Recycling as a Service

  • Turnkey infrastructure: Micro Recycling Solutions ready to install and operate.
  • Full service support: operator training, maintenance, logistics and oversight.
  • Track-and-trace tech: blockchain-backed data for every step of the process.
  • Circular impact: jobs created, waste diverted and wealth returned to communities.
  • Commercial viability: a scalable model with real-world economics.

Our EPR Solution

  • Increased collection of all types of plastic - closing the gap between what is technically recyclable and what is actually recycled.

  • Higher overall rates of recycling in both urban and peri-urban communities.

  • Micro Recycling Pods can be placed in communities, distribution centres, waste collection centres, harbours - anywhere plastic waste is generated.

  • Our Track & Trace software gives you a viable and measurable source for the amount of recycled plastic that goes back into the supply chain.

  • This enables collaboration for a systemic solution and speeds up the transition to a circular economy.

Recycling as a Service is a partnership for impact

Plastic waste is a global problem but the solutions must be local. OPT's Recycling as a Service (RaaS) model empowers communities to recycle where they live and work - creating local jobs, building circular economies and keeping plastic out of our waterways and oceans.
