Here at QM Recycled Energy (QMRE) our goal is to create a solution for plastic waste that turns it into oil and then renewable plastic.
QMRE has an effective, efficient solution using pyrolysis – a tried and tested, but little utilized, technology that will help reduce the effects of plastic pollution waste at the same time as providing lucrative investment and new business opportunities.
QMRE has been appointed by German specialist manufacturer Biofabrik & B2 Square’s Bio Bitumen to distribute their plastic recycling plant into the UK and the Republic of Ireland on an exclusive basis.
