The IOM3 Award — Polymers in the Service of Mankind
Formed as a consultancy to advise on the recycling of polymers, Nextek has grown into an organisation with global reach, involving itself in projects around the world to tackle complex issues of plastics pollution. By working with operational partners to help manage the global waste stream and developing new materials and processes, Nextek tackles packaging recycling and re-use challenges at the baseline source.
Our focus target prevents infrastructure failures by implementing products engineered usefully directly out of recovered raw material structures. Nextek continues working alongside major clean-up funds removing post-consumer plastics fragments from oceans and establishing closed-loop loops inside developing nations.
