Climate change is the direct impact of the world’s mis-managed resources and resulting waste. Reducing our carbon footprint and finding new destinations for all our waste streams is the driving force to my founding cutting-edge SustainTech organisation, Nextek.

Some of our latest transformational projects include NEXTLOOPP, the Award-winning global multi-participant project to close the loop on post-consumer plastic packaging and turn it into high-quality food-grade recycled Polypropylene (FGrPP) and Award-winning COtooCLEAN that focuses on recycling flexible plastics back to food-grade purity.

My mission is to develop and improve on innovative recycling technologies that address the world’s most pressing sustainability issues, helping businesses recover materials at higher purity and quality with lower costs through to defining best practices to create a genuine circular economy

We need sustainable approaches to living in a modern society that reduce the rate of consumption of resources and the consequential impact on the planet. We are now witnessing the impact of plastics in oceans and we need to respond with urgency. We need to Catch Plastics on land.
Recycling of materials such as plastics and packaging is a key way to achieve this important mission. The development of new innovations that enable recycling businesses to recover materials at higher purity and quality with lower costs are vital to boosting the recovery these valuable materials.
