Polyflow

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. 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.

Economic Advantages: A new method for creating value

There is enough polymer waste in the United States to supply over 250 Polyflow plants. New job creation is assured as Polyflow plants are brought online nationwide.

Landfill lifespans are extended as plastic and rubber waste is diverted to Polyflow.

The need to sort plastics by resin type is eliminated, creating a more profitable and comprehensive recycling solution for municipalities.

Our nation's reliance on foreign sources of crude oil and natural gas for polymer production is reduced significantly, keeping dollars and jobs at home.
