A modular approach to post-consumer plastic recycling using microwaves

Maturity stage
TRL 7 - Prototype testing in the real world
The solution regenerates post-consumer plastics by breaking down plastics into their basic constituents, used to make new plastic resins identical to virgin plastics and restore their full value. The modules are intended to be installed in existing sorting facilities where a lot of post-consumer plastics do not find a market due to low value. The project therefore increases the double bottom line of plastic recycling facilities by increasing recycling ratios and financial performance. The modular approach allows local deployment and minimizes transportation costs. The modules can later be installed in developing communities, ships, airport authorities and create local micro-economies around waste. Its small scale favors fast deployment and scaling by deploying more units in the field.
The Environmental Benefits
- •Produces 95-98% yield of recyclable output.
- •Up to 2.5 tons GHG (greenhouse gases) reduction per ton of input of plastics processed.
The Financial Benefits
- •A typical operator will see a 50% return on initial investment.
