MIXCYCLING® IS:
•A LINE OF SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS, DEVELOPED ON DEMAND AND GIVEN WITH A LICENSING AGREEMENT

•A PATENT-PENDING PROCESS THAT ALLOWS THE DEVELOPMENT OF RECYCLABLE OR BIODEGRADABLE BLENDS THROUGH THE REUSE OF INDUSTRIAL ORGANIC SCRAPS

•A COMMUNICATION AND INNOVATION PLATFORM DEDICATED TO THE PARTNERS OF THE PROJECT.

THE CONCEPT

The concept Mixcycling® is based on giving a second life to a waste, by recovering organic scraps from domestic or 0 km industrial production such as wood, cork, cereal husks, herbs, coffee husks, etc... The organic scraps are sanitized and treated to obtain different granulometries.
The organic scraps are added to plastic polymers through a patent pending process that binds the fiber to the polymer, strengthening the adhesion and sensibly reducing the quantity of plastic that is replaced by the organic fibers.

THE PLUS

+ WE CAN OBTAIN RECYCLABLE, RECYCLED OR BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS MADE-TO-MEASURE

+ WE CAN REDUCE THE PLASTIC COMPONENT BY REUSING AN ORGANIC WASTE

+ WE CAN IMPROVE THE AESTHETIC AND TECHNICAL FEATURES OF THE POLYMERS

SUSTAINABILITY

Mixcycling® works towards the clarity, the transparency and the responsibility through an appropriate education and a wide and incisive communication, bringing added value to the projects and to the partners.
For this purpose, we give you concrete data (LCA Life Cycle Assessment) and clear indications on the Mixcycling® materials’ end of life by indicating the disposal instructions of each blend.

The Mixcycling® blends have a reduced environmental impact measured by LCA - Life Cycle Assessment, sign of an intelligent and concretely sustainable solution. The use of organic waste as Secondary Raw Materials through Mixcycling® brings an advantage in reducing the environmental impact.

* Only three of all five Impact Categories are shown by comparing organic Mixcycling® blends with the corresponding Mixcycling® 100% virgin raw materials (in equal conditions).

** the system boundaries analyzed are cradle to gate.

R&D VISION

The Mixcycling® vision in 3 concrete objectives to design a better future:

LIFE
CHAIN

implementation

We are constantly working on the whole life chain of Mixcycling ® .
From the creation of the materials, towards the transformation processing, till its end of lifes in order to improve our blends in terms of sustainablility and technical performance.

ZERO
PLASTIC

contamination

Looking for a future without plastic contamination thanks to Mixcycling ® .
Plastic dispersal is one of the main causes of pollution. We are then committed to explore and support solutions against this critical issue.

IMPACT
ZERO

target

Committed to reach the target ZERO impact with Mixcycling ® .
Micycling ® was born from the idea of giving a second life to a waste, to make it still useful. Following the same spirit we aim to achieve the goal of zero impact for our blends.
