Recycling Technologies Group Ltd has rescheduled its planned December 2021 flotation until the first quarter of 2022.
The company said it decided to delay the listing to give it more time to consider its options after receiving interest from a broad range of investors, including investors that are more strategic in nature.
From the feedback it received, a listing early in the next quarter provides a more attractive option.
Recycling Technologies has developed a modular and mass producible machine, the RT7000, which processes hard to recycle plastic waste into a synthetic oil that can be sold back to the petrochemicals industry as a chemical feedstock to make new plastics.
It previously indicated a flotation price of between 150p and 170p, valuing the company at about £102-111mln. It was looking to raise up to £40mln in the initial public offering, with the option to issue more shares if demand was there. The proceeds are earmarked to mass-produce and sell the RT7000.
The first commercial-scale RT7000 will be located at Binn Eco Park in Glenfarg, Scotland. Operations are expected to commence 12 months from the company’s stock market listing.
