Our Mission

To accelerate the circular economy by transforming residual, hard-to-recycle waste—especially mixed plastics—into high-value secondary raw materials and usable energy through safe, low-emission thermochemical recycling, helping communities and industry reduce landfill, cut reliance on virgin fossil feedstocks, and achieve measurable environmental benefits.

​

Let’s turn “residual plastics” into regional value

​

Every region has plastic waste streams that can’t be mechanically recycled—mixed plastics, contaminated plastics, and composite polymers. RER exists to help governments and industry keep that material in the economy by converting non-recyclable plastics into secondary raw materials through oxygen-free, controlled thermal treatment (i.e., no combustion and not incineration).

​

This is about material recovery first, aligned with the waste hierarchy—creating local circular supply chains that reduce landfill and export dependence, improve resource security, and support emissions-reduction and waste-diversion goals.

​

Who we’re inviting to partner

​

1) Governments, municipalities, and agencies

​

If you’re responsible for waste, climate, planning, or industrial development, you can:

• Build circular infrastructure locally for residual plastic streams that currently have few viable outlets.

• Support compliant deployment through clear planning pathways, permitting alignment, and policy recognition of chemical recycling as distinct from incineration.

• Anchor demand by encouraging (or enabling) offtake pathways for circular feedstocks (fuels/chemicals/polymers) produced from recovered recyclate.

• Make it measurable with traceability, reporting, and circular-economy KPIs that citizens can see.

​

2) Waste collectors, MRFs, and waste-management operators

​

If you manage collection, sorting, and residual fractions, you can:

​

• Create a reliable outlet for low-quality mixed plastics that otherwise end up as disposal or export.

• Participate in a model that prioritises material recovery, where process gas is reused internally to minimise external energy demand.

• Strengthen your value proposition with traceable, characterised feedstock supply into a regulated recycling pathway.

​

3) Producers, brand owners, retailers, and EPR stakeholders

​

If you have packaging obligations and recycled-content goals, you can:

​

• Support circularity beyond mechanical recycling by offtaking secondary raw materials derived from hard-to-recycle plastics.

• Sponsor local circular hubs that reduce leakage and improve domestic resource security.

​

4) Industrial off-takers and manufacturers

​

If you use hydrocarbons, polymers, or chemical feedstocks, you can:

• Secure secondary raw material inputs (from liquid recyclate) for fuels, chemicals, or polymer production—helping decarbonise supply chains.

• Co-develop specifications and quality assurance pathways for stable long-term supply.

​

What the process delivers (in plain terms)

​

RER’s approach produces three regulated output streams, typically:

​

• Liquid recyclate (~63–90% by weight): suitable for upgrading into secondary raw materials/feedstocks

• Process gas (~3–34%): recovered and reused on-site to support energy efficiency

• Solid inert residue (~3–8%): non-hazardous and suitable for permitted industrial reuse

​

A simple “start here” pathway (for partners)

​

1. Map your residual plastic stream (volumes, composition, contamination) + confirm traceability requirements

2. Select a site concept (standalone or co-located with existing waste infrastructure)

3. Structure the partnership: feedstock supply + offtake routes + compliance roadmap

4. Move to feasibility and permitting with an implementation plan aligned to Irish/EU regulatory frameworks

​

The invitation

If your organisation is serious about green jobs, circular manufacturing, and real waste diversion, partner with RER to build a practical, compliant pathway for plastics that currently have nowhere good to go.

​

Bring us your residual stream. We’ll help turn it into measurable circular value—locally, transparently, and at industrial grade.
