/ 2025

This significant step marks the first time Greenback’s modular chemical recycling technology is hosted by a global packaging leader in Europe. The partnership with Amcor aims to showcase the potential for co-locating modular recycling units within existing industrial infrastructure — bringing the circular economy closer to reality. The module’s installation at Heanor will provide important learnings for scaling circularity as it will predominantly convert household post-consumer flexible packaging waste.

Greenback’s advanced recycling technology is designed to process post-consumer flexible packaging, including multilaminate materials, and convert it into high-quality pyrolytic oil, suitable for producing food-grade plastics.

Short Description

Greenback Recycling Technologies is proud to announce the first U.K. deployment of its Enval® advanced recycling module at global packaging leader Amcor’s facility in Heanor, Derbyshire, where it will undergo a six-month commissioning and trial phase.
