Summary
WIMAO is flipping the “take, make and dispose of” model on its head and helping EU member states meet ambitious targets to recycle up to 75% of waste by 2023. In the past 3 years, the team at WIMAO has put our careers in recycling to use by developing REMAT: a patented technology to turn non-recyclable mixed plastic waste streams and other non-recycled materials into composite products. Our products have the full consistency and the same physical properties as composites produced with virgin raw materials. Beyond that, the end products we manufacture are recyclable at the end of their life cycle creating an infinite loop.
We have set up a pilot REMAT facility that started production in January 2019. We are turning mixed plastic waste that is not wanted by the plastic recycling industry and wood waste into, composite products.
The total available raw material (waste streams) for our products is calculated in billions of tons, giving us a nearly unlimited growth potential. If the capacity of our REMAT plants were to match this potential supply, we could ideally replace all composite products on the market with our recycled composite raw material.
WIMAO is uniquely positioned to create a new standard operating mode for the recycling industry. Our breakthrough has been creating high-value materials from many mixed inputs, effectively surmounting the key barrier for recycling: the need to separate waste streams. We have the only technology versatile enough to handle the volumes of waste that Material Recovery Facilities (MRF) collect, exactly as they receive it. Our technology is a radically new opportunity to push Europe towards its circular economy
