About Recircle
Recircle is a UK-based company focused on sustainable solutions for the rubber materials sector.
We have developed several technologies to provide sustainable solutions across the rubber waste spectrum. Our materials deliver over 90% Carbon emissions saving compared to virgin rubber, and require less than 1% of the water needed to make new rubber. We are working with major industrial and household names to bring our solutions to them, and developing our own products to sell to the wider market which could cut global rubber waste in half. And, we're just about ready to be a zero-waste company in the process. So really what we are is a very green bio-industrial company and that ethos runs right through the organisation. We're collaborative, supportive, energetic, professional and commercially driven, and we care for our environment.
Recircle is embarking on a major growth project which will take our patented technology to commercial scale and secure relationships with some of the world's leading tyre companies, footwear brands and other rubber goods manufacturers. We're in the process of hiring a number of technical and operations people to drive product development and oversee the development of our new industrial assets. Our growing team brings experience from some of the largest corporations in the world, such as Shell, BP, Exxon Mobil Chemicals, Ineos, Dow, DuPont and Dunlop. We have completed a major funding round that brings some of the world's leading sustainability, financial and industrial investors on board.
