Wimao Recycling Process Technology

We rematerialise waste into reusable plastic or composite products. That’s the Wimao Recycling Process Technology in a nutshell.

Wimao Recycling Process Technology uses a series of thermal and mechanical operations to turn mixed plastic waste into high-value, ecological plastic and composite products. The technology is protected internationally by three patent families.

In addition to plastic waste, a portion of the raw material can be wood, paper and board fibres as well as various mineral, textile, glass and carbon fibres and different polymers.

The main advantage of our technology is that it allows content variations and impurities in the raw material, which makes sorting and pre-treatment easier. It also enables the recycling of materials that are hard or impossible to recycle using other technologies. For example, there is no need to sort different plastic grades separately from each other. Another example, textile waste does not have to be separated into fibres – instead, it can go through the process as it is.

For every tonne of waste processed, we produce one tonne of ecological plastic or composite products and reduce 1–4 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
