TRL 9 / CRI 3-4 - Commercial Scale Up / Multiple commercial Applications
Low density polyethylene plastic film and flexible packaging are used in a variety of ways, some beneficial and useful as in health systems or product safety, but others totally unnecessary as in redundant packaging. Although the material is stable and reusable, most of it ends up in the landfill, lasting up to 800+ years. To meet this challenge, Ekopolimer is produced thanks to an innovative compression upcycling process, creating lasting economic and environmental value for single and multi-layer film. Ekopolimer can be processed into a wide variety of products and applications where it equals or outperforms virgin material while being cheaper and more carbon friendly. Large scale applications, including streetscape (walkways, curbing, drains, tactile paving, car stops, permeable parking lots), construction (site access, safety, forms, decking), and shipping & movement (pallets, access mats, cribbing), offer high-quality diversion and upcycling outcomes. This highly versatile solution extends the life of single-use plastics while meeting the needs of multiple industries.
