The Challenge
Only 10% of the more than 300 million tonnes of plastic waste generated annually, is recycled. New technologies are needed to convert the enormous potential of end-of-life plastic into raw materials for new plastics, moving away from landfilling, incineration and uncontrolled dumping into the environment. Repolyze opens a unique new route to turn plastic waste into feedstock for new plastics.
Our Technology
Repolyze technology is based on the use of mechanical forces to initiate the chemical breakdown of polyolefins (PE, PP). Smart application of catalysts increases the efficiency and selectivity of the process. In a rotating ball mill solid plastic waste is converted at ambient conditions into gaseous base chemicals, including olefins. These can be used to produce new plastics with virgin quality.
