Circular economy growth company Syklo Ltd. is planning to build the largest plastic recycling plant in Finland and increase the country’s plastic recycling capacity by up to 50 percent. The plant is one of a kind even on a European scale because of ground-breaking technology that ensures a higher yield and material utilisation rate compared to any other methods. Impact Recycling Ltd in the UK acts as a strategic partner in the project. The plant is due to be commissioned in 2025.
The plant, which is to be built in Hyvinkää, Finland, will utilise Impact Recycling’s ground-breaking BOSS technology from the UK to separate different plastic types from post-consumer mixed waste plastic streams into high-quality and recyclable products with an exceptionally high yield. The plant’s production capacity is projected to be 50,000 tonnes annually, with advanced capabilities to extract and recycle plastics from waste streams that would typically be destinated for incineration under current practices. Recyclable plastics include mixed hard plastics, mixed plastic films from trade and industry, and mixed plastic streams separated from waste sorting facilities.
“We are very proud to launch a project that will revolutionise the circular economy market in Europe.” — Teemu Koskela, CEO, Syklo
“We are thrilled to be internationalising our ground-breaking plastic recycling technology.” — David Walsh, CEO, Impact Recycling
