Profile
ReNew ELP is at the forefront of this new era in chemical recycling. We have developed a unique technology, Cat-HTRTM (Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor), that chemically recycles end-of-life waste plastics. Our patented technology uses water at high pressure and supercritical temperatures to convert end-of-life waste plastics into synthetic oil, and valuable petrochemical products including solvents and waxes. These products can be sold as feedstocks into the chemical industry, contributing to a circular economy for plastics.
