Global waste plastics

Around the world there are millions of tonnes of unsorted
mixed plastics that are being sent to landfill or waste to
energy plants. Current and future legislation to improve
resource efficiency and reduce carbon emissions will
force this valuable resource to be better utilised.
The PIM process can utilise unsorted mixed plastics
without the requirement to resort to expensive polymer
cleaning and segregation processes, which themselves
produce large volumes of mixed
plastics which are currently
uneconomic to
sort further.

PIM Process and advantages

1. Co-mingled plastic waste is collected

2. Mixed plastic is turned into fine granules

3. PIM turns raw granules into reusable material
4. Material produced is then used as filler between
two skins
5. Highly usable products are made at a profit to
the producer

The PIM process

6. These valuable products can themselves be

recycled
PIMs uniqueness is its ability to use mixed
plastic waste streams, which cannot viably be
recycled by other means. The alternative is
landfill, incineration or export

Product
Manufacturing

The PIM process can utilise un-sorted, mixed plastic waste which cannot be used in conventional plastic processes

The PIM process facilitates the use of low cost raw materials in added value products, providing the opportunity for
highly profitable manufacture

The products made using the PIM process can themselves be recycled

Markets and products for PIM

Licensing PIM

Licensing terms

Current market patents

Exclusive or non-exclusive

Patents protected in 30 countries

Licence for defined product: barge

Patents in North America, South

covers, shower trays, flat sheet etc

Licence for sales territory: USA,

Europe, UK etc

Licensees can trademark brands, e.g.

Eco-dec

America, Asia, Europe and Australasia

Licensee case study: Brownwater Plastics

Brownwater Plastics, an affiliate of

James Marine Inc, holds an
exclusive license from ERT to
manufacture and sell barge covers
and other marine products in the
U.S.

Currently manufacturing and

selling barge covers that measure
200ft - possibly the worlds largest
thermoplastic moulding

A superior product to existing fibre

glass barge covers

Licensee case study: Contour Showers

Contour Showers holds an exclusive

European licence to manufacture its design
of Eco-dec shower tray

Eco-dec is an innovative wet-room floor

system that replaces a GRP product and is
made with over 90% recycled plastics

Eco-dec shower wet room formers are

100% recyclable and quicker and easier to
install than traditional screeded methods

Eco-dec is trademarked

Case study: Flat sheet substitute

PIM produced sheet can been used

as a substitute for flat sheet plywood

The flat sheet product can be engineered to

perform as an alternative to imported
plywood, or to virgin plastic panels, yet in
turn are fully recyclable at their endof- life thereby offering a complete
closed- loop solution

The natural characteristics of polymer

are utilised to manufacture hard
wearing, smooth-faced, versatile boards
suitable for a variety of applications in
construction, agriculture and beyond

Our partners

Arup: one of the largest and most

successful international engineering
consultancies works with ERT to identify
commercial opportunities for the
development of products using the PIM
process from recycled plastic in the
construction and engineering sectors.

Axion Polymers: who operate one of the

most advanced plastics recycling facilities
in Europe produce bespoke recipes of
blended recycled plastic material for use
by ERTs licensees.
This enables our licensees to focus on
manufacturing PIM products by ensuring
the consistent supply of quality-assured
recycled plastic material.

Conclusion

PIM is a unique patented process that recycles mixed plastics from waste

Market drivers are tightening recycling legislation, with a growing demand for
resource efficient, low carbon manufacturing of sustainable products

ERT is looking to increase the number of licensees in existing and new

international markets
