Circular11

Circular11 is a UK-based startup that transforms low-grade plastic waste into sustainable building materials and home products, such as composite lumber, fencing, and furniture. They utilize a proprietary technology that allows their manufacturing lines to adapt to variations in plastic composition, making previously unusable plastics viable for production. Their process involves collecting plastic waste, shredding it, creating a chemical profile for machine learning algorithms to determine optimal formulations, strength testing, and extrusion to create composite lumber. They also use a digital operating system to track the origin and carbon impact of their materials. The company aims to address the growing demand for sustainable construction materials driven by timber supply constraints and the phasing out of traditional timber preservatives.
