Benefits of ARCUS Technology

ARCUS fills a key gap in the circular economy: it transforms hard-to-recycle plastic waste into circular raw materials of reliable industrial quality. For Germany, this means lower greenhouse gas emissions, higher recycling rates, and the strengthening of a strategic raw material base “Made in Germany.” At the same time, sustainable industrial jobs are created across the entire value chain—from collection and logistics, through operations and maintenance, to engineering and analytics.

For Germany. For the economy. For the world.

ARCUS provides the business community with predictable, quality-assured inputs that help companies meet recycled content requirements and Scope 3 targets —without compromising on performance or product safety. This reduces regulatory risks, stabilizes supply chains, and opens up access to high-margin markets with sustainable demand. Through modular, replicable plant designs, capacity grows where it is needed—close to waste streams and industrial customers.

From a global perspective, the technology delivers systemic benefits: it replaces fossil fuels, keeps carbon in the cycle, and reduces climate-damaging emissions. At the same time, it fosters innovation clusters, export opportunities, and technological sovereignty in key industries. In short, ARCUS combines resource conservation, competitiveness, and resilience— acatalyst for sustainable growth that has a local impact and can set global standards.

Ensure supply, reduce emissions, create value.

For Germany & Europe

  • Recycling Rates & Supply Security: A reliable, domestic source of circular raw materials; reduced dependence on virgin oil.
  • Infrastructure & Resilience: Bridging the gap between collection and high-value recycling—moving away from incineration.
  • Regional Economic Impact: Investment, Taxes, Innovation – Industrializing the "Made in Germany" Circular Economy.

For Jobs & Regions

  • Industrial employment: Highly skilled jobs in operations, maintenance, engineering, and logistics.
  • Scalable clusters: Each facility serves as a hub for suppliers, service providers, and educational institutions.
  • Education & Training: Dual degree programs, apprenticeships, and trainee programs in process engineering, mechatronics, analytics, and operations.

For Business & Industry

  • Compliance & Market Access: Meeting recycled and circular economy requirements in regulated and premium markets.
  • Decarbonization (Scope 3): Circular raw materials as a building block for resilient transition pathways.
  • Product Safety & Performance: Quality equivalent to virgin material enables demanding applications.

For Climate & Resources

  • Crude oil substitution: Every liter of recycled oil replaces a fossil fuel in the chemical industry.
  • Less incineration: More material recycling, fewer immediate CO₂ emissions.
  • Higher overall system yield: Mechanics + Chemistry = more material remains in the cycle.
