Finnish Circular Economy Pioneer Syklo Ltd. Partners with Impact Recycling
(UK) to Build a Plastic Recycling Plant Utilising Ground-Breaking Technology

Finnish circular economy growth company Syklo Ltd. is planning to build the largest plastic
recycling plant in Finland and increase the country’s plastic recycling capacity by up to 50 percent.
The plant is one of a kind even on a European scale because of ground-breaking technology that
ensures a higher yield and material utilisation rate compared to any other methods. Impact
Recycling Ltd in the UK acts as a strategic partner in the project. The plant is due to be
commissioned in 2025.
The plant, which is to be built in Hyvinkää, Finland, will utilise Impact Recycling’s ground-breaking
BOSS technology from the UK to separate different plastic types from post-consumer mixed waste
plastic streams into high-quality and recyclable products with an exceptionally high yield. The plant’s
production capacity is projected to be 50,000 tonnes annually, with advanced capabilities to extract
and recycle plastics from waste streams that would typically be destinated for incineration under
current practices. Recyclable plastics include mixed hard plastics, mixed plastic films from trade and
industry, and mixed plastic streams separated from waste sorting facilities.
“We are very proud to launch a project that will revolutionise the circular economy market in Europe.
It is an enormous problem for both the environment and the economy that our consumption still
relies on the use of virgin raw materials. This plant will increase Finland’s recycling rate of plastic
packaging by up to 20 percent. The scale of the project is significant as we plan to expand our
operations to other Nordic countries, the Baltics, and the rest of Europe,” says Teemu Koskela, the
CEO of Syklo.
State-of-the-art technology ensuring higher yield and superior quality
Impact Recycling, Syklo's strategic partner, brings forth two patented technologies integral to the
recycling process: BOSS & PRE. The Baffled Oscillaton Separation System (BOSS) enables the
separation of plastic types with very small density differences, overcoming current challenges in
recycling mixed post-consumer plastics. In addition, the PRE additive technology produces a final
product with a specific Melt Flow Rate (MFR) and colour, a grade that is a superior quality compared
to any alternatives in the market. The final product of the recycling process is recycled plastic
granules, that are used as raw material for high value consumer grade plastic products.
“We are thrilled to be internationalising our ground-breaking plastic recycling technology, which has
already proved its effectiveness in the UK. Syklo’s team has demonstrated compelling expertise in the
area of circular economy right from the start and we are excited to be working with a future
European leader in the field. With our strategic partnership and patented technologies, we believe

we can revolutionise the recycling industry and encourage Europe towards a genuine, sustainable
and nature positive circular economy,” says David Walsh the CEO of Impact Recycling.
Syklo’s planned facility will employ advanced water management practices, where the wastewater
will be distilled and reused in the recycling process. The sludge containing microplastics will be dried,
preventing the release of any microplastics into water bodies.
“Our new facility enables the recycling of plastics 20 per cent more efficiently compared to current
plastic recycling methods. This is a huge step forward to the whole circular economy sector. Together
with Impact Recycling, we are proud to push the industry to a new, more sustainable level,” says
Koskela.
Syklo’s goal is to become a major player in the circular economy sector, pioneering the renewal of
the circular economy market by addressing challenges, providing innovative solutions, and steering
the narrative in the sector towards a more sustainable future.
