Arqlite Smart Gravel
Arqlite Smart Gravel - Turning the up-to-now unrecyclable plastics into highly efficient materials for the Built Environment
Arqlite provides a solution to the up-to-now unrecyclable plastics currently sent to landfills, incinerated or dumped, contaminating our land, rivers, and oceans. Arqlite proprietary technology is unique as it offers a sustainable alternative to waste generators, both private companies and municipalities, at a cost comparable to landfill tipping fees. This innovative product is destined to be one of many of Arqlite's large-scale solutions for plastic pollution. Arqlite Smart Gravel is one of the first commodity ever, made 100% from mixed plastic waste. Mining landfills instead of mountains, this product takes the best of plastic polymers and generates a filler, three times lighter and ten times better insulator compared to mineral gravel. Proven long-lasting and safe for the environment, this sustainable material is highly appreciated by the Civil Engineering industry, Concrete Mix companies, Precast manufacturers, Landscapers, and Hydroponic growers, among many others.

Key features
- •Arqlite 750lbs /Cubic Yard vs. Mineral Gravel 3,000lbs /Cubic yard - induces lower transportation costs and installation times that can be cut in half
- •Plastics have been stabilized into a new finished product, making it inert and thus safe for water and the environment
- •One ton of Arqlite Smart Gravel = One ton of plastics deviated from the environment
- •Doesn't discard any water or other pollutants during the manufacturing process
- •Helps reduce transport contamination and increase insulation in buildings, reducing the carbon footprint caused by AC and heating
Profitability
- •Arqlite offers a competitive price compared to existing products, while its lower weight generates savings in transport, handling and installation
- •Using Arqlite Smart Gravel adds points to many green building certifications, multiplying the value of new projects
- •Arqlite processes mixed plastics at a 1ton/hour rate and at a competitive cost compared to landfill tipping fees, making it a low cost, scalable solution
