Turn plastic waste that can’t be recycled into a material that looks like wood.
Recnorec wants to improve the amount of plastic that is recycled by coming up with a way to turn waste plastic blends that were thrown away (by burning or putting them in a landfill) into something that can be used outside instead of wood, metal, plastic, or concrete. The Recnorec process can take in mixed streams of plastic waste, which is very helpful for people who make plastic waste from a logistics point of view. Recnorec material is recyclable and will replace resources like wood that can’t be used over and over again. Solution works because of an innovative recycling process line that combines traditional plastic shredding/densifying and extrusion equipment with an original, one-of-a-kind shaping machine. The process can handle mixed plastic waste without having to sort or wash it first. Material performance depends on how stable the mix of polymers is around the world. We can use thermoplastics that have never been recycled before.
Positive facts about Recycling the Unrecyclable
1kg plastic wasted collected = 1kg recnorec material produced
Can be recycled at least 4 times with equivalent properties
1 kg of Recnorec Material = 2,7 kg of CO2 not emitted
100 % Recycled and 100% Recyclable
With mass production (2025), selling price will be 20% cheaper than wood type 5
