REVOLUTIONISING WASTE RECYCLING WITH CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY
TORTEK is a leader in chemical recycling, using a highly efficient and scalable recycling technology that releases enormous untapped economic potential in hydrocarbon waste products.
This process supports the circular economy by reducing crude oil reliance and minimizing environmental impact.
PLASTIC WASTE
TORTEK
SUSTAINABLE RECYCLING
400 MILLION
Every day, millions of tons of plastic and rubber waste pile up in landfills, clog our oceans, and pollute our air. Over 400 million tons of plastic waste and 1 billion discarded tyres choke our planet every year. The world has been trapped in a cycle of consumption and waste, with no way out—until now.
WASTE IS NOT THE END OF A MATERIAL’S LIFE. IT’S THE BEGINNING OF ITS NEXT
At TORTEK, we believe the future of plastics does not depend on extracting more oil—it depends on unlocking the value already contained in the materials we discard.
Driven by a single question—Can we eliminate the need for new oil in plastic production?—we have developed technology that transforms plastic waste into valuable raw materials, enabling a truly circular economy.
This is the future we are building. This is TORTEK
THE BREAKTHROUGH MOMENT
TorTek was founded with a clear purpose: to unlock the value contained within hydrocarbon waste and accelerate the transition to a truly circular economy.
Through years of research and engineering, we developed our proprietary, patented technology—a breakthrough process that converts hydrocarbon waste into high-value circular feedstocks in a matter of seconds rather than hours.
More than a waste recovery solution, TorTek enables waste management and recycling partners to recover greater value from challenging waste streams while reducing dependence on virgin fossil resources.
By returning carbon already in circulation back into the manufacturing supply chain, our technology has the potential to reduce CO₂ emissions by 85–96% compared with conventional fossil-based production—transforming waste from an environmental challenge into a valuable resource.

TORTEK TRANSFORMS WASTE INTO VALUABLE RESOURCES, BRINGING NEW LIFE TO MATERIAL THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE DISCARDED
THE NAME
WASTE IS NO LONGER THE END, IT’S THE BEGINNING
With ’s high-efficiency reactors, waste is not burned, buried, or abandoned. It is transformed. Our plants run continuously, 24/7, converting discarded plastics and tyres into clean, reusable materials—all while generating their own energy, with surplus power feeding back into the grid.
We are not just recycling. We are reinventing the way the world thinks about waste.

A FUTURE WITHOUT WASTE
Imagine a world where plastic waste never reaches the ocean. Where tyres do not pile up in landfills. Where the things we throw away today become the resources that build tomorrow.
BY TURNING WASTE INTO VALUABLE PRODUCTS, WE ARE NOT ONLY HELPING TO REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL HARM BUT ALSO PAVING THE WAY FOR A FUTURE WHERE RESOURCES ARE REUSED, RATHER THAN DISCARDED.
BE PART OF THE CHANGE. BE PART OF TORTEK.
We are not just recycling. We are reinventing the way the world thinks about waste.
