ReVentas Livingston, Scotland, United Kingdom
ReVentas are leading the global movement to tackle plastic waste pollution. Our ground-breaking advanced recycling technology enables the most challenging waste plastics to be recycled, allowing them to go back into products such as consumer packaging, household products, the automotive industry and textiles.
By closing the gaps in the circular economy, ReVentas are not only helping to reduce the problem of waste plastics but allowing companies to meet their sustainability ambitions without compromising their products.
ReVentas is a young and vibrant start-up, quickly growing after securing Seed and Series A funding from some of the largest brands and petrochemical companies globally. As we now scale to our first commercial plant in the UK and with further plants being planned in Europe, the US and Asia, we need to develop a finance team able to support our growth goals.
