The Infrastructure Gap

The UK faces a critical deficit in domestic resource recovery infrastructure. Valuable materials are exported, landfilled, or incinerated annually.

02 // What We Do

Fulfilling the Need

Katharos develops, capitalizes, and delivers circular waste infrastructure, targeting the most difficult resource recovery challenges.

Develop Assets

We source strategic sites, secure grid connections, and obtain necessary planning consents for modern resource recovery facilities.

Connect the Chain

We structure feedstock agreements and energy offtakes to ensure predictable inputs and outputs for every development.

Local Processing

By keeping processing onshore within the UK, we lower global transit emissions and contribute to regional supply chain security.

03 // How It Works

The Resource Cycle

We align feedstock providers, technology, and market demand into a structured, commercially viable process.

01

Secure Feedstock

We enter long-term agreements with municipal and commercial providers to secure stable volumes of feedstock materials.

02

Optimize Processing

We select and integrate proven chemical and mechanical recovery technologies custom-fit to the material properties.

03

Deliver Offtake

Recovered polymers, fuels, and heat are delivered to long-term industrial partners, completing the circular loop.

04 // Development

Our Development Stages

From site origination to grid connection and final construction, we manage the entire asset creation lifecycle.

Phase 1

Origination

Identifying strategically viable sites close to grid infrastructure and major feedstock transit corridors.

Phase 2

Structuring

Securing planning permissions, environmental permits, feedstock supply, and offtake contracts.

Phase 3

Financing

Structuring project finance through debt, equity, and institutional capital partnerships.

Phase 4

Execution

Managing tier-1 engineering partners to build, commission, and transition assets to operations.

05 // Why Katharos

Our Differentiators

We bring commercial rigor, development expertise, and an infrastructure-first mindset to circular economy projects.

Specialist Expertise

Our leadership team has successfully delivered multi-million pound infrastructure assets across the energy and environmental sectors.

Commercial Rigor

We do not rely on subsidies. Every project is structured to offer strong commercial yields through contracted revenues.

Speed to Market

By using modular, proven technology and keeping engineering in-house, we reduce development cycles significantly.

Build Britain's Circular Economy

We work with landowners, feedstock providers, technology partners, and institutional investors to deliver world-class infrastructure assets.
