About Plastoil
Powering Circularity Through Advanced Plastic Recycling
At Plastoil, we represent the Enespa Group, global leaders in plastic recycling technology, engineered in Germany to meet EU emissions and safety standards. Our solution, WASTX Plastic, is a modular, highly efficiency system for recycling plastic waste into pure, high-quality resource oil, unlocking economic benefit.
But our commitment to circularity doesn’t end with oil production. We work with strategic partners who convert this resource oil back into new plastic products, creating a true circular economy. This full-loop approach reduces virgin plastic use, diverts waste from landfill, and fosters regional innovation and is ISCC certified ensuring you can trust the process.
Plastoil’s platform not only delivers sustainability outcomes, it catalyses the growth of green jobs, advances climate goals, and strengthens supply chains across Australasia.
We're not just recycling plastic - we're reimagining the future of plastic itself.
Our Vision
Leading circular plastic recycling across Australasia, creating economic benefit, green jobs, and environmental resilience through regional regeneration.
Our Mission
Delivering local plastic recycling solutions that regenerate materials, create green jobs, and scale circular innovation across Australasia.
