Big Atom

New technology for plastics and rubber recycling.
BIG ATOM is the number 1 tyre recycler in the North West of England and are licensed by the Environment Agency to collect and process 25,000 tonnes a year.
We sell a range of recovered rubber products as well as recovered steel wire.
BIG ATOM’s ambition is to enhance recycling methods and contribute to a sustainable future. We saw an opportunity in the growing chemical recycling sector and decided to use our engineering background to disrupt the market. BIG ATOM envisions turning waste rubber and plastics back into their raw materials for reuse, creating a Circular Economy.
Our first achievement has been building a tyre recycling business, where we shred & granulate tyres, ready to be chemically regenerated in the pyrolysis plant. Our technology will ensure that rubber & plastic products can be recycled 100% and a Circular Economy can be realised.
By turning waste into a resource, the world will become a cleaner place.
