TORTEK CLEAN TECH
Pioneering a Circular Future - In operation today
WASTE RECYCLING WITH
CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR A SUSTAINABLE WORLD
TORTEK Tech is revolutionising waste management with its patent-protected TORTEK technology, designed to break down hydrocarbon-based waste—including plastics, end-of-life tyres, and electronic waste—into valuable raw materials. These recovered resources can then be used to create new plastics, tyres, and other products originating from oil, drastically reducing reliance on crude oil and minimising environmental impact.
A circular solution
THE TORTEK PROCESS
Revolutionising Waste Conversion
TORTEK is an advanced chemical recycling technology that transforms hard-to-recycle hydrocarbon waste into high-quality circular oil in seconds. The system can process a wide range of materials including laminated plastics, textiles, wind turbine blades, and other complex industrial waste streams.
Unlike conventional pyrolysis technologies, TORTEK differs fundamentally in its operating principle. Traditional systems rely primarily on thermal decomposition through external heating, whereas the TORTEK process uses a unique combination of high-intensity mechanical energy transfer, extreme centrifugal G-force separation, rapid flash conversion, and low-pressure vapour recovery.
Within the TORTEK reactor, pyrolysis becomes an additional benefit of the reactor dynamics rather than the sole process principle. This creates faster energy transfer, improved process efficiency, and rapid conversion of difficult waste streams while reducing heat losses typically associated with conventional technologies.
The result is a highly efficient process that reduces CO₂ emissions, lowers dependence on fossil resources, and converts difficult waste into valuable feedstocks for fuels, chemicals, plastics, and industrial applications.

Circular Economy: The TORTEK patent protected technology breaks down a wide-variety of hydrocarbon-based waste products into component olefins products. These components are then used to produce new products such as plastics, tyres and fuel. This will help support recycling or reuse of the 400M tonnes of plastic waste and 26M of tyre waste generated annually.
Clean-Teach: Unlike other recycling technologies there is no chemical waste or waste water discharge. Emission from the TORTEK reactor are lower than direct combustion and fully compliant with the strictest environmental regulations.
Modular design and scalable operation: Total production capacity can easily be scaled up on one site. Due to the small form factor and modular design multiple TORTEK units can easily be transported and operated in parallel on the same site.
Cutting edge thermal efficiency: The TORTEK patented thermo-mechanical reactor based on friction achieves exceptional heat transfer and energy efficiency for a fast de-polymerization reaction within seconds.
Continuous process and Economically viable: The process is continuous with 24/7 operational capability. This significantly improves total production capacity and economic viability of the technology.
Site efficiency tyres: Each 1.6MW TORTEK reactor can process up to 5 tons of tyres per hour (c. 500 motor vehicle tyres @ average 10kg per tyre). A typical TORTEK processing factory will have 4 TORTEK reactors and will process up to 120,000 tons of tyre waste (c. 12M tyres) per year. Hence 218 TORTEK reactors could manage global ELT recycling. The TORTEK reactor recycles both the natural (plant-based) and synthetic (oil-based) rubber used in tyres. Preservation of natural rubber elements is key as this is expensive, scarce and gives the many strength and longevity advantages to tyres. Hence 48% of the TORTEK oil from tyres is verified as bio oil.
Site efficiency plastics: Each 1.6MW TORTEK reactor can process 3 tons of plastic waste per hour. A site with 4 x 1.6MW TORTEK reactors can process 100,000 tons per annum.
TORTEK’s primary goal is that no new virgin crude oil is used in plastic production, and all plastics are made from recycled plastic oil. This alone will save 700 Million tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
THE VISIONARY BEHIND TORTEK CLEAN TECH
Anders a Swedish national and serial inventor, is the mind behind the TORTEK technology. With over 20 patents spanning agricultural efficiency to green hydrogen production, Anders has dedicated his career to creating sustainable solutions. Originally commissioned to combat oil contamination in Middle Eastern deserts, the TORTEK reactor was developed to break down hydrocarbon pollutants. As global waste challenges intensified, Anders recognised the reactor’s broader potential—offering a scalable solution for processing plastics, tyres, and electronic waste.
