Unique solving method from ReSolved Technologies
ReSolved Technologies has developed a method to completely dissolve high-quality plastic, such as a dashboard or truck tarpaulin, and return it to its original state.Now on a small scale at their installation on the Chemelot campus, but it is time to scale up. The first pilot factory will open in 2025.
“Let me explain something first,” says Norbert Fraunholcz, CEO and founder of ReSolved Technologies, kindly. “Over time, circularity has become an increasingly important topic in society. Circularity is also increasingly being incorporated into legislation. Mechanical recycling is the current state of the art, in which plastic waste is sorted, washed and reduced into small flakes. The major disadvantage of mechanical recycling is that it has limitations in removing contaminants in the plastic. We uniquely combine mechanical recycling with our dissolving method and are able to produce a plastic of very high quality. We even achieve high yields from highly polluting waste streams.”
Pilot Plant
Juul Cuijpers (COO) adds: “We have demonstrated on a small scale that with our technology we can make plastics so clean that they can be reused in exactly the same application in which they were previously used, such as a car dashboard. Jean-Jacques Collin (CCO): “That's called near to prime, so we return materials to almost their original quality. After the processing process, ReSolved Technologies can offer products to the customer in three different capacities: in powder, granules or foil.”
The first 'pilot plant' should be operational in early 2025, a crucial and significant step forward for the company. In the first demonstration plant, which should be ready by 2028, ReSolved Technologies is capable of producing 4,000 tons per year. Look atherethe ReSolved Technologies website.
