Halocycle secures £203k for microwave-based plastic recycling technology

An estimated £203.2k has been secured by Halocycle Limited, a Hull-based company specializing in microwave processing technology. Incorporated in 2020, the business focuses on recycling chlorine-containing plastics such as PVC and PVDC. This process transforms waste back into oil and gas for reuse in polymer production.

By targeting the packaging supply chain, the firm aims to create a circular lifecycle for materials that would otherwise be sent to landfill or incineration. The founding team brings a combined 40 years of experience in searching for solutions to environmental and industrial issues.

Financial records for the year ended 31 December 2025 show the business employed four people, though LinkedIn data indicates a current headcount of six staff members. This investment follows a total of £198.2k raised during 2026. Documentation for this specific allotment was filed in May (following an April close), and the website is located at halocycle.co.uk.
