The Polyflow process is robust and handles all polymer types as a random feedstream. This eliminates the need for sorting and enables the recycling of polymers that have been difficult to recycle in the past such as Plastics #3-#7 (learn more about resin identification codes). Polyflow increases recycling rates, makes municipal blue box recycling programs profitable, and enables single stream recycling to become a reality.
  • Polyflow accepts all plastics from recycling facilities and industrial and commercial generators.
  • Polyflow allows recycling facilities to focus on higher value materials.
  • Polyflow recycles items previously abandoned in landfills and incinerators.
  • Polyflow simplifies recycling decisions for consumers.
  • Polyflow puts more material into the recycling stream.
  • Polyflow handles complex products such as carpet, tires, electronic waste, ASR, and C&D waste.

Examples of polymer waste to be processed by Polyflow:

Chipped and shredded tires

More examples of polymer waste:

Industrial hose

The Polyflow approach to processing polymer waste is a real world approach-the percentage of polymer type going into the Polyflow processor closely mirrors the percentage of polymer waste type entering land fills every day.  The below chart is a direct comparison of what is processed at Polyflow by polymer type and what enters our land fills by polymer type.  The robust waste stream processed at Polyflow truly differentiates itself from other pyrolisis technologies.
