At OBBOTEC, we believe in a circular future where waste is no longer a problem but a valuable resource. Using our advanced SPEX and HydroCat technologies, we transform plastic and mixed waste streams, including biomass with plastic, into high-quality, reusable plastic and sustainable biofuel.
Founded in 2018, OBBOTEC aims to develop unique solutions for reusing bio- and plastic waste streams. OBBOTEC’s technologies were developed in the 1990s by inventor and chemical engineer Obbo Hazewinkel, who worked in the petrochemical industry. His insights allow plastics from waste streams to be recycled into high-quality products or partially green fuel. OBBOTEC owns and nurtures these technologies, refining them into operational applications.
Our SPEX technology is specifically designed for polyolefin plastic waste streams, such as HDPE, LDPE, and PP. Using a dissolution process, we recycle plastic waste directly into high-quality plastic without material loss. The quality is as good as virgin plastic. This not only significantly reduces waste and fossil resource use, but also lowers environmental impact thanks to the short recycling cycle. The LCA results for SPEX technology are significantly better than fossil and chemical recycling techniques. This makes SPEX the best solution for plastic waste recycling, offering maximum yield, high-quality results, and minimal environmental impact.
For waste streams primarily consisting of biomass with plastic, our third-generation pyrolysis technology, HydroCat, is the ideal solution. This technique converts these mixed waste streams into high-quality biogenic fuel. While this waste is typically incinerated, HydroCat provides a sustainable alternative that promotes the circular economy. With HydroCat, waste that is often considered "worthless" and incinerated is transformed into valuable biogenic fuel, drastically reducing the volume of these waste streams and decreasing the reliance on fossil fuels. This helps contribute to a cleaner planet.
At OBBOTEC, we understand that not all waste streams are the same. That's why we always select the most efficient and sustainable recycling technology:
Our mission is to upcycle waste and reduce environmental impact. OBBOTEC stands for innovation, sustainability, and a cleaner future. Together, we are building a world without waste.
