"Enabling the circular economy and energy transition with disruptive technologies and supply of services to the Advanced Chemical Recycling Industry"
About Us
Founded in Ireland in 2012, FRE is an chemical recycling company based in Delfzijl in the Netherlands. Under the leadership of CEO Gavin Duffy, the company has developed 'FREcycle', the next generation technology to convert waste plastic. Previously destined for incineration or landfill, 'FREcycle' converts waste plastic into feedstock to produce petrochemicals and plastics, more cost effectively, than from fossil oil.
FRE Technologies aim to implement a sustainable and scalable strategy to ensure the circularity of plastic is achieved. FRE Technologies chemically recycles plastic that cannot be mechanically recycled, into high value chemical products that are essential to society. FRE’s process has been specifically designed and engineered to ensure its products can be used in the manufacturing of new plastics enabling the circularity of plastic.
