British Plastic-Aluminium laminate recycling company “Enval” appoints Jeremy Blake

The British plastic-aluminium laminate recycling company Enval has appointed Jeremy Blake as part of its senior management team to be in charge of operations and accelerating strong growth of the business.

Enval uses a remarkable proprietary pyrolysis solution technology for treating low-density packaging waste. By applying cutting-edge innovation to packaging recycling, Enval is surfacing the way for environmentally responsible packaging solutions.

Jeremy joins Enval to lead the company’s operations department, bringing with him over 10 years of experience in the circular economy sector. Before joining Enval, he was the Head of Recycling Assets at Viridor and has a demonstrated history of working at the intersection of renewables and environmental technologies, as well as a strong dedication towards implementing sustainable solutions. These skills make him a crucial addition to the Enval team, at a time when an increasing number of FMCGs and waste handlers are looking for solutions to tackle plastic waste issues.

Dr Carlos Ludlow-Palafox, Founder and CEO of Enval, said: “Treating plastic better enables the recycling of valuable resources and paves the way for environmentally responsible packaging solutions. With Jeremy’s extensive track record in the industry, we can further empower FMCGs to strengthen profitable and sustainable brands while complying with new regulations and open up new revenue streams for waste handlers.”

Blake added: “I am very excited to join Enval. The company is changing the perception of plastic and unlocking a profitable circular economy. I’m confident our solution is a game-changer for FMCGs and waste handlers. Together, we’ll contribute to a sustainable and circular economy.”

The fragile aluminium foil remains undamaged during this process and can be recovered in solid form, clean and ready for reprocessing. Meanwhile, the plastic component degrades to form a mixture of hydrocarbons.
