We are pleased to announce that the groundbreaking plastic recycling technology by our partner, Plastech Recycling, will officially begin operations in the Netherlands on 1 April 2026.
Our board member and director of Plastech Recycling, Colin Barker, will be attending the official opening in Farmsum. Queen Maxima of the Netherlands will open the facility. Details below.
On April 1, Queen Máxima will officially open our recycling factory in Farmsum. In this demo facility we process plastic and textile waste with Australian mixer-melter technology into sustainable building materials, such as posts and planks for use in public spaces and infrastructure. From the Chemport Innovation Center we validate our production process on an industrial scale and take the next step towards further scale-up. During the visit, she will also discuss topics such as regional cooperation and financing of circular innovations with representatives from government and business.
