It allows higher purities than other technologies and delivers large uplifts in value to a recycler. The current system depends on working with other technologies, however Impact has identified a route to use BOSS without the need for these other technologies, and allow BOSS to be sold as a standalone system. This has the potential to significantly increase plastic recycling in the UK and abroad, reducing C02 outputs and making recycled plastic a valuable raw commodity. This will allow UK manufacturers a competitive advantage through accessing lower cost feedstocks and lead to job creation throughout the UK.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
