New NEXLOOP™ Polymers Alliance Delivers Basel-Compliant, OEM-Grade Circular e-Plastics for the Electronics Industry
JANUARY 1, 2026 — [JANESVILLE, WI] — Universal Recycling Technologies (URT), a leading provider of secure electronics recycling and materials recovery solutions, today announced the launch of NEXLOOP™, a circular materials platform designed to help electronics manufacturers adopt recycled materials safely, compliantly, and at scale.
Created and owned by URT, NEXLOOP™ addresses growing industry challenges around recycled-content mandates, carbon and Scope 3 reporting, global compliance, and brand risk by delivering traceable, performance-driven circular materials that integrate into real-world supply chains.
A Platform Built for Compliance, Performance, and Flexibility
Unlike traditional recycling programs, NEXLOOP™ is a platform approach that brings together compliance oversight, materials engineering, and flexible supply chain integration. The platform is designed to remove the risk, complexity, and fragmentation that often slow or derail circular materials adoption.
Through NEXLOOP™, manufacturers gain access to:
-
- Basel-compliant, legally defensible material flows
- Electronics-derived, OEM-grade circular materials
- Verified chain-of-custody and ESG documentation
- Flexible integration with existing suppliers, with additional support available when needed
Introducing the NEXLOOP™ Polymers Alliance
The first application of the NEXLOOP™ platform is the NEXLOOP™ Polymers Alliance, focused on circular plastics for electronics manufacturing.
The alliance brings together complementary capabilities across the value chain, including:
-
- URT, as the Creator & Owner of the NEXLOOP™ Circular Materials Platform, providing secure electronics feedstock, processing, compliance oversight, and full chain-of-custody transparency
- Hanil Eco Solutions, the core polymers partner, producing high-purity, OEM-grade PCR resins engineered for electronics applications
- Shinil, an alliance partner providing advanced plastics compounding and formulation support
- BH Tech, an alliance partner specializing in injection molding and electronics component manufacturing
Together, the NEXLOOP™ Polymers Alliance provides a Basel-compliant foundation for responsibly returning electronics plastics to manufacturing—without forcing OEMs to disrupt their existing supply chains.
Designed for Real-World Manufacturing
A core principle of NEXLOOP™ is flexibility. Manufacturers may integrate NEXLOOP™ materials into their current compounders, molders, and production partners, or leverage alliance capabilities when additional technical or manufacturing support is required.
This approach allows organizations to adopt circular materials at their own pace, while maintaining performance standards, compliance confidence, and brand protection.
Looking Ahead
The launch of NEXLOOP™ reflects URT’s long-term commitment to moving beyond traditional recycling and into engineered circular materials, delivered with the transparency, rigor, and accountability global electronics manufacturers require.
“The electronics industry deserves a better circular materials solution,” said Ken Thomas, President of URT. “NEXLOOP™ was built to meet that need—by combining compliance, performance, and flexibility into one trusted platform.”
URT and members of the NEXLOOP™ Polymers Alliance will be attending CES in Las Vegas next week, where they will be meeting with manufacturers, sustainability leaders, and supply chain partners to discuss the platform and upcoming pilot opportunities.
