We’re turning the impossible into impact: VerdiCycle transforms multi-layered plastic (MLP), previously considered “unrecyclable,” into high-quality, truly recyclable materials, without toxins or high carbon footprints. Closing loops, ethically.
Multi-layered plastic packaging, consisting of up to 5-6 different materials (including polymer sheets, metalized films, adhesive layers, etc.), has long been considered “impossible” to recycle. This low-value, high-volume waste typically ends up in landfills, contributing to environmental degradation.
Our patented technology for MLP recycling is changing the game.
Here’s how our technology stands out:
Efficiency: Our unique process combines chemical and mechanical methods to simultaneously delaminate, demetalize, wash and depolymerise (the PET in) the waste.
Uniqueness: Our process results in higher quality, more recyclable, more consistent and toxin-free material:
Versatility: Our robust process can handle various contaminants and plastic waste types without compromising the final product. This includes hard-to-recycle things like coloured PET bottles, TetraPak and metalized paper plates.
The textile industry is one of the world’s largest polluters, with a staggering 92 million tonnes of textile waste produced annually. Only 12% of this ends up being recycled. Polycotton, a popular blend of polyester and cotton, presents unique recycling challenges due to its mixed composition, contributing significantly to this waste problem.
We’re pioneering a groundbreaking solution for polycotton recycling:
Our polycotton recycling technology is still in the lab stages. Our goal is to formalize and pilot the tech in the coming year.
