Plastics are an integral part of modern life—but when they become waste, they are often incinerated. This results in the loss of valuable raw materials and the unnecessary release of CO₂. This is exactly where ARCUS comes in. With our chemical recycling technology, we close the raw material loop and transform plastic waste back into valuable feedstocks. Unlike mechanical recycling, which can only process single-type plastics, chemical recycling makes even heavily contaminated or mixed plastics usable again. This produces a high-quality recycled oil that can replace fossil crude oil—a decisive step toward a true circular economy.

ARCUS technology is based on an innovative pyrolysis process that breaks down plastic waste into its chemical components in an oxygen-free environment. The oil produced can be used directly in industry, providing a sustainable, efficient, and scalable source of raw materials. ARCUS combines high-tech innovation, environmental protection, and economic strength—made in Germany.

In this way, ARCUS creates value at every level: for Germany, which aims to meet its climate targets and reduce its dependence on raw materials; for the economy, which needs sustainable alternatives; and for investors who want to invest in future-proof, high-impact technologies. Chemical recycling is not just an innovation—it is a necessity. And ARCUS is ready to shape this future.
