Anellotech is a sustainable technology company that focuses on developing innovative processes to convert recycled mixed plastics and non-food biomass into renewable chemicals and fuels. Their flagship technology, Plas-TCat®, is a one-step thermal-catalytic recycling process that transforms mixed plastic waste directly into basic chemicals such as benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX), which are essential for producing virgin plastics. This approach addresses the significant issue of plastic waste, which often ends up in landfills or oceans, by providing a more efficient and environmentally friendly recycling method. The Plas-TCat® process not only enhances recycling rates but also has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 50% compared to traditional methods of producing these chemicals from petroleum.

In addition to Plas-TCat®, Anellotech has developed the Bio-TCat® technology, which converts non-food biomass into aromatics, including paraxylene, necessary for creating 100% plant-based PET bottles. This technology has been validated through extensive pilot plant operations and is now being adapted for the Plas-TCat® process. Anellotech's commitment to driving a circular economy is further exemplified through partnerships with industry leaders, such as Technip Energies and R Plus Japan, to accelerate the commercialization of these technologies. By leveraging their advanced processes, Anellotech aims to empower industries to reduce waste and lower their carbon footprints, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable future.

Anellotech’s patentedBio-TCat™process produces 100% bio-based BTX (i.e. benzene, toluene and xylene) ‘drop-in’ aromatic chemicals, offering a solution to the lack of efficient, scalable processes for producing BTX fromrenewable, non-food biomass.In addition to BTX, Bio-TCat technology produces a heavier aromatics product, which can be used as bio-marine fuel, or can be upgraded to make diesel or jet fuel blendstocks.
