Turning Waste Into Value
With Innovative Microwave Technology

We design, build, and operate microwave‑based processes that remove conventional, energy‑intensive steps—speeding the path from lab to industry.

Since 2017, Micrea has grown from a research startup into a fully equipped R&D facility and pilot plant in Jedburgh, Scotland. We partner with industry and academia to validate new processes, de‑risk scale‑up, and develop products that are cleaner and more efficient.
