Recycling Needs to Make Economic Sense. Plas-TCat® Does. Advanced recycling technologies have struggled to scale because of high costs - but it doesn’t have to be this way. Plas-TCat® was designed with cost-effectiveness in mind, making it a game-changer for the industry. 💰 Feedstock Flexibility = Lower Costs Other processes require clean, sorted plastics. Plas-TCat® processes a wide range of mixed plastics, reducing expensive pre-sorting and opening up access to lower-cost feedstock. 🔄 One-Step Conversion = Efficiency Gains Unlike pyrolysis, which first produces an intermediate oil that must be further processed, Plas-TCat® directly converts plastics into high-value chemicals in a single step. Fewer process steps mean lower energy use, reduced costs, and simpler operations. ⚙️ Scalable FCC-Style Reactor = Lower CapEx Plas-TCat® is built on technology similar to fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) , used in large-scale refining for decades. This proven approach enables cost-effective scaling while optimizing throughput and efficiency. The bottom line? Cost matters. Scale matters. Efficiency matters. Plas-TCat® delivers all three. #PlasTCat #PlasticRecycling #AdvancedRecycling #CircularEconomy

Juice Pouches: Built to Last, Impossible to Recycle - Until Now Juice pouches and multi-layer drink packaging, like those used for sports drinks and kids’ juices, are designed for convenience and shelf life. But that same design makes them nearly impossible to recycle. Most juice pouches contain: 🧃 Plastic (PP, PE) – Lightweight and flexible 🧃 Aluminum foil layer – Blocks light and oxygen 🧃 Adhesives & coatings – Bonding the layers together The result? Traditional recycling systems can’t separate these materials, meaning billions of pouches end up in landfills or incinerators every year. At Anellotech, we take a different approach. Plas-TCat® converts multi-layered drink pouches directly into high-value chemicals - aromatics and olefins - without costly sorting or separation. That means real circularity for the packaging that’s been stuck in a recycling dead-end for decades. Convenience for kids doesn't have to sacrifice circularity. If you’re working on sustainable packaging, let’s talk. #CircularEconomy #PlasticRecycling #SustainablePackaging #AdvancedRecycling #JuicePouches #PlasTCat

At Anellotech, our strength is in solids management. Removing the fillers, fibers, additives, and other contaminants is key to maintaining high reliability in any plastics recycling technology. The variability in different streams is high, so the process must be developed robustly to handle all types of incoming materials. Our Plas-TCat® technology is built to handle the real world of plastic waste. Our process removes solids at every step, ensuring stable operations, higher yields, and more reliable production. No need for expensive pre-sorting or ultra-clean feedstocks—our system processes what others reject. More waste turned into high-value chemicals. Less residue. More reliability. That’s how we make plastic circularity work. #PlasticRecycling #CircularEconomy #AdvancedRecycling

The Hidden Challenge in Plastic Recycling: Fillers, Rods, Solids, and Additives Recycling plastic isn’t just about melting it down and making something new. The reality is far more complicated—especially when fillers, solids, rods, fiberglass, and additives get involved. This picture is a real example of materials we've pulled from our plastics recycling solids collection system! Most plastics aren’t pure resin. They contain calcium carbonate, fiberglass, talc, flame retardants, pigments, and other additives that improve performance but make recycling a nightmare. When traditional methods try to process these materials, they can: ✅ Clog equipment and create process inefficiencies ✅ Contaminate recycled plastic, reducing quality ✅ Limit how much recycled content can be reused in new products This is why many recycling technologies struggle with mixed and contaminated plastics. But at Anellotech, we take a different approach. The "secret sauce" of our Plas-TCat® technology is how we effectively manage solids removal during and in between all of our unit operations. This is how we effectively remove the fillers, additives, and inorganics. That means no sorting, no costly pre-treatment, and no waste. We’re working to solve the problems that have held plastic recycling back for decades. If you’re dealing with complex plastic waste streams with fillers, let’s talk. #Recycling #CircularEconomy #PlasticWaste #AdvancedRecycling #SustainableSolutions

♻️ Can Chip Bags Be Recycled? Anellotech Says YES! ♻️ Every year, billions of chip bags end up in landfills because traditional recycling methods can’t handle their multi-layered structure. Most chip bags are made of: ✅ Polypropylene (PP) & Polyethylene (PE) – Lightweight but tough plastics ✅ Metallized layers (aluminum coating) – Keeps snacks fresh ✅ Adhesives & inks – Critical for branding, but tough for recycling Fun fact - did you know that the "air" inside a chip bag is actually nitrogen gas, which keeps the chips fresh. Because of this multilayered packaging, chip bags can’t be mechanically recycled - but at Anellotech, we have a solution. With Plas-TCat®, we convert these mixed materials directly into high-value chemicals like BTX (Benzene, Toluene, Xylene) and light olefins, which can be used to make new plastics and other products. Aluminum gets removed along other common plastic fillers and contaminants along the way. No need for costly sorting. No waste. Just real circularity. Tens of billions of chip bags are produced every year across the world. Today, they are all going to landfill or incineration. Let's change that. #PlasticRecycling #CircularEconomy #ChipBags #AdvancedRecycling #SustainablePackaging

Multi-Layer Packaging: A Recycling Nightmare? Not Anymore. Multi-layered films are great for keeping products fresh, durable, and lightweight. They protect what’s inside, extend shelf life, and reduce material usage. But when it comes to recycling, they’re nearly impossible to process. Traditional methods can’t separate the layers - whether it’s nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene, or PET - so most of these materials end up in landfills or incinerators. Fully separating them is also cost prohibitive and uneconomical. At Anellotech, we take a different approach. Instead of trying to separate the layers, our Plas-TCat® technology recycles them as they are. Whether it’s nylon in high-performance packaging, PET in barrier films, or complex laminates, we convert it all into high-value chemicals—the same ones used to make new packaging, textiles, and more. This drives down the cost of circularity, creating an economical way to progress to world forward. Sustainability must be cost effective. The future of recycling isn’t about making packaging simpler. It’s about making recycling smarter. If you’re developing next-gen materials and don't want to be forced to de-engineer decades of barrier film progress, let’s talk. #Recycling #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #AdvancedRecycling #PackagingInnovation #Anellotech

Oreos Are Delicious - But Their Packaging? Not So Much. 🍪♻️ We all love opening a fresh pack of Oreos, but have you ever thought about what happens to that plastic wrapper after you’re done? Most people assume it’s recyclable—but it’s not. ❌ The problem? Multi-layer packaging. Oreo’s wrapper is made of polypropylene (PP) and a metallized polyester (PET) layer, which makes it great for keeping cookies fresh but impossible to recycle through traditional methods. That’s where Anellotech comes in. 💡 Our Plas-TCat® technology can convert this type of plastic packaging directly into high-value chemicals - without needing expensive separation or sorting. Instead of heading to a landfill, Oreo wrappers (and other multi-layer films) could become new plastics, packaging, and even textiles. That's circularity. If you’re in the food & beverage industry and looking for real circular solutions for flexible packaging, let’s talk. Because cookies should be enjoyed - but their packaging shouldn’t last forever. #Sustainability #Recycling #PlasticWaste #CircularEconomy #Anellotech #Oreo #PackagingInnovation

K-Cups® and coffee pods are everywhere - but recycling them? That’s a serious challenge. Traditional mechanical recycling struggles with multi-component packaging, and separating plastic, aluminum, and coffee grounds isn’t practical or economical at scale. That’s why at Anellotech, we’re doing things differently. Instead of trying to separate these materials, our Plas-TCat® technology processes them as they are, converting the plastic into valuable aromatics and olefins - the same building blocks used to make new plastics and packaging. We’re scaling our technology to enable a fully circular economy.
