Key Stats

Our containerized recycling units are designed to optimize material recovery, drastically cutting down on landfill and disposal fees. By turning waste into a resource, manufacturers can significantly reduce their environmental footprint while lowering operational expenses.
Advanced processing capabilities ensure that up to 95% of recyclable materials are recovered efficiently. Our technology captures more usable material, minimizing waste streams and maximizing the value extracted from each cycle. This means less waste sent to landfill and more materials reintroduced into production.
Our units are engineered for energy efficiency, consuming significantly less energy than conventional recycling processes. Through smart design and innovative technologies, manufacturers can achieve their sustainability goals without compromising on performance.
Each unit is built to adapt to your processing requirements, allowing for seamless scalability as your recycling needs grow. Whether expanding capacity or introducing new materials, our modular approach ensures easy integration and minimal disruption.
Designed to meet international recycling and environmental standards, our units integrate smoothly into operations worldwide. From Europe to North America, our technology is compliant, future-proof, and ready to support sustainable manufacturing on a global scale.

Meet the Founders

At the helm of Sustainable Extricko are two brothers with a shared passion for sustainability and innovation. Dr Joe Penhaul Smith and Sam Penhaul have combined their unique skills and experiences to create a company that’s transforming the way industries approach waste.

The younger brother and professional sailor
Sam is a highly accomplished sailor and boat builder, having worked and built boats for prestigious teams including America’s Cup, RC44s and Vendee Globe teams.
His specialty is building teams and systems to capitalise on all of those marginal gains that race teams leave on the shelf. When combined with a talent for building novel composite components and developing recycled and bio-composite components, Sam is pushing forwards the limits of sailing

Joe Penhaul Smith, the older of the two brothers, is a professional scientist with over nine years of experience in biotechnology and green chemistry. With a PhD. focused on the intersection of industrial biotechnology and green chemistry, Joe has dedicated his career to translating laboratory innovations into scalable industrial solutions. His recent work includes collaborating with B&M Longworth, the original inventors of pressolysis, to further develop the revolutionary Extricko process. Outside of the lab, Joe remains connected to his passion for sailing, often found racing Europe Dinghies.
