We developed a path breaking plastics cleaning technology that removes 98% of surface contaminants from post-consumer plastic waste streams. Our hot wash technology leverages fundamental chemistry to loosen the surface tension of the plastics and the contaminants to produce a super clean washed flake. The washed flakes are free of labels, adhesives, inks, prints and any other product and packaging related contaminant. The technology can be applied to rigids as well as flexible materials and is effective for FMCG bottles, auto components, electronic plastics and a wide range of other applications.
