Serious engineering. Honest sustainability. Real support.
Designed and built in house
Every machine is designed, assembled, and tested in our UK workshop. You deal directly with the engineers who built your machine, not a reseller.
Trusted worldwide
From Adidas and UNDP to universities and community workshops, our machines power recycling projects in 94 countries and counting. If you recycle plastic, we have probably shipped to someone like you.
Education and support included
Every order includes free illustrated guides and direct access to our engineering team. We do not just sell machines, we make sure you succeed with them.
Carbon neutral shipping
We offset 100% of shipping emissions on every order worldwide. Your machine arrives knowing it has not added to the problem you are helping to solve.
Award-winning design
Featured on Grand Designs and recognised for innovation in sustainable manufacturing. Built for long-term reliability, from school classrooms to disaster-relief zones.
UN SDG aligned
Our work directly supports six UN Sustainable Development Goals, including quality education, climate action, responsible consumption, and life below water.
How we work
From concept to production.
Whether you are setting up your first workshop or scaling a production line, we guide you through every stage of the circular manufacturing process.
Consultation
Tell us about your project, materials, and goals. We will recommend the right machines, moulds, and workflow for your specific needs, no obligation.
Product design
Our engineering team helps you design your product and moulds. We optimise for recyclable materials, manufacturability, and your production volume.
Machines and moulds
Manufactured, assembled, tested, and packed in our UK workshop. Choose between a fully assembled machine or a kit, both shipped directly to your door.
Training and support
Free illustrated guides, tutorials, and direct access to our engineering team. We do not just sell machines, we make sure you succeed with them.
Free plastic recycling guides, built from real experience.
You should not have to spend weeks piecing together information from across the internet just to get started. Every guide is built from lessons learned running our own recycling operation, and from the questions real customers asked us along the way.
