Hekla Technologies (Hekla) has developed novel technology for recycling post-industrial Polycarbonate (PC) that overcomes limitations of conventional recycling.
Contrary to current recycling technologies, Hekla’s technology preserves properties of the material, so recycled PC has effectively the same properties as those of the original PC.
Recycled PC can substitute for the original PC, at low cost.
Immediate high value-added applications for Hekla's technology are those that require superb mechanical and optical properties, such as:
-
PC prescription and sunglasses lenses
-
PC automotive roofs and lighting
Hekla's new technology closes the loop in the circular economy model. It reduces waste, is energy and cost efficient, and improves sustainability.
The technology has been proven with a lab scale recycling plant and is ready for scale-up and commercialization.
