Oxford UK, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom DeepTech Recycling Full time

DeepTech Recycling Ltd (DTR) is on a mission to accelerate the evolution of plastic into a more sustainable material.

We have technology that can turn hard-to-recycle plastic waste, such as flexible packaging, multi-layer structures, polystyrene, into feedstocks for new plastic production and other chemicals.

DTR is a UK-based technology company with a passion to support the critical global drive towards a circular economy.

Plastic is a fantastic material, providing excellent utility to society across many sectors. However, the current management of plastic waste generated is unsustainable. The world only recycles c.12% of plastic waste generated each year. This remarkable resource inefficiency means that c.88% of the plastic used in the world is either buried, burnt, or leaked into our environment. This has led to a global environmental crisis and a need for change.

This is an exciting time for DTR as we prepare to launch a couple of commercial projects with our partners and customers. This is a unique opportunity to be involved in the development, construction, operation and optimization of major projects and to have an impact on the commercialization of our technology platforms.

If you are motivated, passionate, results oriented, enjoy a challenge and are looking to make a real impact for the future, then this is a great opportunity for you.
