About Alkemy (K.B. Recycling Industries Ltd.)
Alkemy is an environmental technology company based in
Israel that has developed a unique
plastic recycling process for plastic bags and sheets traditionally
not considered economically viable for recycling, and as such, have
become one of the largest plastic pollutants in the world. Alkemy
employs a dynamic one-step process that does not require separate
recycling and production plants. Alkemy's process includes both
recycling and finished product manufacturing in a single process
called "waste-to-product", allowing Alkemy to reduce the cost of
the recycled plastic as raw materials, and increase the profit
margin per metric ton.
