Recricle Waste Management Solutions Inc.
Recircle Waste Management Solutions (Recircle) remanufactures plastic waste into
consumer products and industrial raw materials using proprietary, semi-industrial waste
management machines. Currently, Canadian manufacturers and extruders incur high costs to
import in-demand recycled raw materials such as decontaminated plastic flakes and pellets for
their processes, while industrial, commercial institutional and municipal (ICI&M) ecosystems
pay to dispose of their waste plastic to landfills. Recircle closes the logistical loop between these
two parties and creates a circular economy for recycled raw materials by licensing its waste
management infrastructure to ICI&M ecosystems (transforming waste management costs into
sustainable revenue streams) while simultaneously providing manufacturers with more
affordable, local raw materials. Recircle has been operating its equipment, navigating the regulatory environment, and
exploring business models in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, for the last three years. The core
technology comprises five semi-industrial machines, including a shredder, decontamination,
injection, extrusion, and sheet press machines. In the beginning, recircle’s machines were
intended to prove the concept of turning waste plastic into a multitude of plastic products and to
showcase the many avenues & segments that can be explored within plastic recycling. The
injection, extrusion and sheet press technologies are intended to create end-market products. The
injection machine can make coasters, flowers, pots, phone holders, and bricks, for example, and
the extrusion can create beams, filaments, and planks to name a few. The beauty of these
machines is that they are modular and can create any product that can be physically engineered.
While the sheet press is suited to create furniture like tables, chairs, stools etc.
