One step non-tyre rubber recycling and cleaning process
ERJ staff report (RD)
New York, US -- Plastics recycling and cleaning specialist Green EnviroTech Corp., along with three partners, has announced “the first end-to-end ARS recycling process†that will recover, separate, and clean plastics, non-tyre rubber and fibres from shredder residue, a 24 June EnvioTech statement claims.
Using three specific patented manufacturing processes exclusively licensed from Agilyx, SiCon GmbH and Thar Process Inc., the combined technology creates a one step process to convert plastic, non-tyre rubber and fibres into high grade sweet oil, the statement said.
According to the statement, the technology converts 80 percent of the plastic materials into compounded high grade plastic resin for sale to the industry, while converting the remaining 20 percent of the plastic, the non-tyre rubber and fibers into high grade sweet crude oil.
SiCon seprates the plastics, non-tyre rubber, fibres and shredder residue, Thar Process captures and cleans contaminates, and Agilyx converts the material into sweet crude oil, EnviroTech said.
According to EnviroTech president, Jeff Chartier, the recycling process allows the company, for the first time, to put the recycled plastics back into commerce at even lower levels than the EPA standard.
“Ultimately, we help manufacturers find considerable savings in recycling, while assisting in reducing their own carbon footprint by allowing them to utilise recycled materials in their own products," he added.
