The WF Recycle-Tech Mission
Our vision at WF Recycle-Tech is to create a sustainable economic and environmental future through effective and efficient recycling methods. The focus being on how we can turn a worldwide problem into a solution by providing recovered commercial products whilst at the same time eliminating a significant pollutant from the environment. These concepts are what have driven our company ethos over a 6 year research and development programme and with the WF Recycle-Tech solution we believe that we can realise this vision as well as allowing our customers to benefit from healthy financial returns.
We see end of life tyres as an untapped resource; a treasure as opposed to non-disposable waste, from which valuable commodities can be obtained and it is our mission to facilitate the extraction of these precious resources. We also need to refine the quality of these end products so that our customers can realise their true commercial value. All of this whilst emphasizing the environmental importance of sourcing these commodities through the thermo-dynamic breakdown of ELTs as opposed to existing methods which serve to severely increase the world’s carbon footprint.

WF Recycle-Tech and Key Business Partners
WF RECYCLE-TECH
WF RECYCLE-TECH was formed in 2013 and has spent the last 6 years developing and refining an operational prototype for its innovative thermo-dynamic solution to process ELT’s with the assistance of its key business partners. The team at WF RECYCLE-TECH has focused its design on utilising tried and tested technology to ensure reliability of the system and integrating such components in an innovative way to produce quality outputs. Such outputs have been tested throughout the company’s research and development phase and the WF RECYCLE-TECH team now have extensive reports on the characteristics of the outputs. With the operational protype complete the team is now moving forward with the commercialisation of production machines.
