ERT will give the JV exclusive rights to manufacture flat sheet using its proprietary powder impression moulding (PIM) process.

"We have spent the last year building a relationship with Mettalis Recycling and have carefully constructed a business plan that benefits our shareholders and our new partner."

The PIM process converts mixed waste plastics into commercially viable products. It is supposed to be renowned to improve the environmental footprint of businesses by adding new value to mixed plastic waste streams through conversion into products, which in turn, can be recycled at the end of their life.

With exclusive rights to sell PIM flat sheet in the UK market, the JV will pay ERT a knowledge transfer and license fee of £1m, and royalty for each product sold.
