One process for four ‘impossible’ feedstocks

One patented chemo-mechanical process built to extract purified monomers, polymers and materials fit for global supply chains from multiple streams of ‘impossible-to-recycle’ waste.

The inputs

Multiple “impossible” feedstocks

The same VerdiCycle unit can process four post-consumer streams of ‘impossible-to-recycle’ waste.

~120°C, water-based · 1-2 atm

NOT pyrolysis. NOT gasification.

One reactor, five simultaneous actions

  • Demetallisation (full)
  • Depolymerisation
  • Delamination (partial)
  • De-inking (partial)
  • Hot caustic wash

Proprietary purification process

Patented

AI-assisted R&D: proprietary models predicting catalyst and material performance, in development.

The process

Modular, resilient, chemo-mechanical

Shredded feed Step 01

Preparation

Minimal sorting, shredding and washing. Wet feed does not need drying, and it tolerates contaminants: tissue, dust, hair. Zips and buttons can stay on the textile waste.

The reactor Step 02

Chemical extraction and mechanical separation

One reactor, simultaneously: delaminates (partially), demetallises (fully), depolymerises all PET content (fully) into monomers, decolourises (partially), and puts the material through a hot caustic wash.

The materials Step 03

Purification and compounding

PET monomers are purified: dyes, contaminants, catalysts, salts and aluminium-based compounds are removed. The monomers are polymerised back into virgin-like PET, polyolefins are compounded into engineering-grade drop-in pellets, and the residual becomes a patent-pending construction composite.

Each VerdiCycle unit can be used for multiple waste streams and adjusted for scale. Nothing on the skid had to be invented. The novelty is what happens inside it.

One plant, built from identical modules

Every module is the same engine. Click one to change the waste stream it is set up for.

4 of 4 modules online

Add a module and the plant takes another waste stream: the same chemistry, set up for a different feed.

Modular

If one module goes down, the plant runs on the rest.

Feedstock-agnostic

Each module takes a different waste stream through the same VerdiCycle chemistry.

Geography-agnostic

A different mix of modules can be used in different markets.

Replicable

Every plant after the first inherits the same engine and the same playbook. So does every licensee.

  • Water-based. Water is the primary solvent, not organic chemistry.
  • Energy efficient. ~120°C, against 200°C+ for thermal routes.
  • Simple conditions. No inert atmosphere, no high pressure, no exotic metallurgy.

The output

Materials fit for global supply chains

Around 90% of the material that goes in comes back out as product, ready for manufacturing. The full data lives on the TDSs.

Engineering-grade polyolefin

Drop-in pellets that run on conventional injection, blow and extrusion lines. Matches virgin on stiffness, beats it on toughness and carbon, and recycles as itself ten times over. Every unit physically traceable, no mass-balance accounting.

Recycled polyester yarn

True textile-to-textile: soiled, mixed textiles back into recycled polyester yarn. Matches virgin PET chemistry and spinning behaviour, so it spins on virgin equipment with no process re-tuning. Dope-dyed confirmed.

VerdiFLO →

Construction composite

The residual stream by design: rot-resistant, water-resistant and flame-retardant. It is what lets a plant run at near-total feedstock utilisation, turning the hardest fraction into revenue rather than landfill.

VerdiMIX →

Recycled PET

Recycled PET, polymerised from our own purified monomers, recovered from the waste nobody else can process. Cleaner than industrial-grade virgin on the impurity that matters most.
