Greenback Recycling Technologies (Greenback) is a UK-based advanced recycling company founded to reduce the environmental impact of the growing amounts of plastic pollution and to create certainty about the way in which plastics are recycled. 

Greenback recently acquired Enval Limited which for many years has been at the forefront of the development of chemical recycling processes. Greenback is now in the process of installing recycling plants using the Enval technology and incorporating the EcoVeritas Circularity Platform to provide incorruptibly traceability of the recycling process.   

The Greenback Mexico plant located in Cuautla, Mexico, is the first facility incorporating both technologies and is now producing pyrolysis oils for the production of new plastic.
