Upcycling Waste Mineral Wool

EcoUp WasteX is a patented, end-to-end processing line for upcycling waste mineral wool into re-usable raw material. Instead of landfill, waste mineral wool is transformed into clean, micron-sized pulver, and can now be used as a binder for geopolymer concrete, for instance.

Ideal Solution for Waste Recyclers

With EcoUp WasteX it is now possible to turn waste mineral wool into business – at the same time preventing mineral wool from landfills and enabling new revenue streams from re-usable raw material sales. Processing equipment is designed for energy-efficiency and is suitable to be used in typical waste processing facility infrastructure.

Upcycled Yet Carbon Neutral

Replacing virgin materials with recycled content is of course a must already now, but sometimes it means that while increasing the recycled content the carbon footprint might actually increase due to the heavy processing that is needed in order to create new raw material from waste. Our process and equipment is designed to minimize the carbon footprint of waste processing.

   

New Products
with Waste Mineral Wool

So what can you use waste mineral wool for? Concrete products are under regulative restrictions which means that traditional cement has to be used in for example load bearing structures. However, there are a lot of product categories that can utilize mineral wool waste as raw material already today – for example concrete blocks and columns, pavers and facade elements to mention a few. We provide both ready-made formulas as well as support for verifying the suitability of mineral wool waste as a raw material for your products.
