Closing the Loop on Plastic Waste with Novoil Tech

We are using a closed-loop system that produces circular feedstock from plastic waste while minimizing emissions.


Plastic waste is one of the defining environmental challenges of the 21st century. Each year, the world produces over 440 million tonnes of plastic, with estimates suggesting this could exceed 1 billion tonnes per year by 2050. Far too much of this plastic is used once and discarded ending up in landfills, incinerators, or polluting the environment.

At Novoil, we see plastic waste not as a problem, but as a resource waiting to be transformed.

Innovation

Novoil's closed-loop pyrolysis and sustainable site regeneration redefine plastic recycling for a circular future.

Inspiration

We're driven by the belief that plastic waste can become a valuable resource, creating positive change for people and the planet.

Introducing Novoil Tech: Circularity Without Compromise

Novoil Tech is our proprietary closed-loop pyrolysis technology that transforms end-of-life plastics into high-value circular feedstock.

Unlike traditional thermal processes, Novoil Tech is uniquely engineered to operate without any external energy input, making it one of the most energy-efficient and sustainable solutions available. Even better, it produces no production waste or pollutants, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

With over 15 years of experience in advanced recycling, our team has successfully delivered 15 operational installations of Technoterm APR worldwide, proving that Novoil Tech is reliable, scalable, and ready for industrial deployment.

Through Novoil Tech, we take waste plastic and:

  • Break it down into its fundamental components through advanced pyrolysis.
  • Produce pyrolysis oil—a high-quality liquid hydrocarbon.
  • Feed this oil back into the petrochemical supply chain to create new plastics and chemicals.

This technology ensures that plastic remains in a continuous loop, preventing waste, preserving resources, and supporting the transition towards a circular economy.

Why Novoil Tech Matters

Environmental Impact

  • Reduces landfill and incineration of plastic waste, avoiding long-term environmental damage.
  • Lowers CO₂ emissions compared to traditional waste management methods.
  • Minimises reliance on virgin fossil resources for plastic production.

True Circularity

  • Converts waste plastic into feedstock suitable for creating high-quality new plastics.
  • Supports industry commitments and helps meet EU circular economy targets, including reducing single-use plastic and achieving a 50% recycling rate by 2025.

Proven and Innovative Process

  • Closed-loop system requiring no external energy input.
  • Zero production waste or harmful by-products.
  • Over 15 successful installations demonstrating technology readiness and industrial scalability.

A Vision for a Circular Future

Novoil is driven by a clear purpose:

Transform plastic waste into a valuable resource, while creating sustainable, modern industrial spaces that benefit people and the planet.

With over 15 years of expertise and 15 operational installations worldwide, we're proving that sustainability and industrial progress can go hand in hand.

Plastic waste is not the end. With Novoil, it's the beginning of something new.

Beyond Technology: Sustainable Site Regeneration

Novoil's commitment to sustainability doesn't stop at technological innovation. We believe the where and how we build matter just as much as what we build.

Our projects focus on regenerating dormant industrial sites and warehouses, transforming previously underused or abandoned spaces into modern hubs of sustainable industry. This approach delivers significant benefits beyond recycling:

  • Healthy Indoor Environments for Workers
    • Facilities designed for superior indoor air quality, comfort, and worker well-being.
    • Advanced HVAC systems, including indirect adiabatic cooling, provide fresh air and efficient climate control while minimising energy use.
  • Energy-Efficient Operations
    • Smart systems reduce operational energy needs, enhancing both sustainability and cost-efficiency.
  • Enhanced Outdoor and Public Spaces
    • Green landscaping, biodiversity corridors, and welcoming public areas improve site aesthetics and integrate facilities into their communities.
  • Community and Economic Revitalisation
    • Redevelopment creates new jobs, stimulates local economies, and helps transform industrial areas into sustainable centres for future growth.

By combining cutting-edge recycling technology with responsible industrial regeneration, Novoil is not just closing the loop on plastic waste but is also reshaping industrial landscapes for the better.
