Chris Dow

Managing Director, Closed Loop Recycling

Chris Dow is managing director of Closed Loop Recycling, an innovative and state-of-the-art UK plastics recycling company.

An Australian entrepreneur, Chris came over to the UK in 2004 when closed loop recycling infrastructure was almost non-existent. Using his extensive business development and senior management experience, as well as his passion for the environment, he managed to secure funding and build his first multi-million pound Closed Loop Recycling plant, developing new technologies and supporting the fledgling UK recycling industry.

Chris has become an expert in waste management and recycling and regularly advises government bodies and industry. He is also a regular media commentator on waste and recycling issues.

Chris, married with four children, now lives with his family in Kent, after spending several years commuting between Australia and the UK.
