In Series 7, Episode #059 of the Irish Business Builders podcast, host Conor Kearney sits down with Neil Skeffington, founder and CEO of Novelplast, a pioneering recycling company in Ireland. Neil shares his journey from studying polymer engineering to building a multimillion-euro business that tackles plastic waste by converting post-industrial and post-consumer materials into reusable pellets. He discusses the challenges of raising capital, the reality of plastic recycling, and the motivations behind his commitment to sustainable practices. This conversation delves into the complexities of the recycling industry, the importance of resilience and innovation in business, and Neil's vision for a future where waste is seen as a valuable resource.
