Recycling of materials from secondary streams
The need for sustainable materials, consumer goods and chemicals is growing around the world. Where will the raw materials needed for the production come from – and will they be sustainably sufficient?
We can turn our environmental challenges into new raw materials.
We are working for the future world, where metals, minerals, chemicals, waste, and energy that are hard to recycle and handle will be efficiently recirculated as raw materials. This will allow us to preserve the environment as well as critical resources and nature’s biodiversity.
In 2030 we have developed methods for recovering substances and raw materials that have commercial and scientific value. Value added to raw materials will remain in the product from manufacturing to the processing of waste stages. The recovery of materials has become a competitive advantage for our customers.
Our approach
We are a research and innovation partner for our customers in the efficient recovery of valuable raw materials. We enhance the transition of using industrial and residential circular-, waste-, and side streams instead of virgin origins. We help our customers in finding new business opportunities for the use of recycled materials that are difficult to process, such as plastics, minerals, energy, or chemicals.
These are the cornerstones of our approach:
-
We help in finding new and profitable ways of using solid, liquid, and gaseous raw materials collected from agricultural, forest, municipal and industrial environments.
-
We ensure the adequate supply of critical resources by reconverting challenging and low-quality metals, minerals, and consumer goods that are hard to recycle into sources of new raw materials.
-
We are making the recovery and management of material flows of non-renewable materials sustainable with the help of advanced data analytics and modelling.
-
We are developing the value chains of products by applying mechanical, chemical, biochemical, thermochemical, and biotechnical recycling technology in the further processing of plastics, raw materials, and waste flows.
