HYD Recycling Materials for Circular Economy (North America) R&D Centre is dedicated to researching, developing, introducing, and implementing new technologies, materials, and processes for resource recycling, all while upholding the principles of sustainable development. Based on the circular economic model, we promote cooperation among industry, academia, and government. We are committed to collaborative research and development, providing professional reports, recommendations, and solutions for urban environments. We adhere to local governance practices and support the establishment of a circular economy in North America. Together, we strive to create the most positive impact on production, economy, society, and the environment.
Post-consumer flexible plastics, such as films and bags, have historically posed recycling challenges due to contamination and mixed materials, leading to increased landfill usage. Recent breakthroughs in coordinated sorting, layered processing, and integrated cleaning technologies efficiently remove impurities and residues, transforming these materials into high-quality recyclable resources. This comprehensive recycling approach significantly reduces landfill waste and accelerates progress toward a sustainable circular economy.
Post-consumer rigid plastics, such as containers, bottles, and packaging trays, frequently pose recycling challenges due to contamination, labeling residues, and diverse material compositions. However, state-of-the-art recycling innovations are transforming the industry by implementing advanced sorting, intensive decontamination, and purification processes. These groundbreaking methods significantly elevate the purity and marketability of recycled rigid plastics, effectively reducing landfill burdens and promoting a sustainable circular economy.
Discarded fishing nets, often referred to as "ghost nets," pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Lost or abandoned at sea, these nets continue to trap and entangle marine life, including fish, sea turtles, marine mammals, and seabirds. Furthermore, ghost nets eventually break down into microplastic particles, compounding the problem of plastic pollution in our oceans. Through research and development, innovative materials and technologies can be developed to create more sustainable fishing gear, minimizing the impact of lost or abandoned nets on marine ecosystems.
Used agricultural films often present unique recycling challenges due to substantial contamination from soil, organic residues, moisture, and small debris. Cutting-edge recycling solutions are transforming this sector by incorporating advanced sorting, intensive cleaning, and targeted contaminant removal processes. These innovative approaches effectively enhance the purity and quality of recycled agricultural films, significantly reducing environmental pollution, minimizing landfill waste, and supporting sustainable agricultural practices within a circular economy framework.
