Creating a value from plastic waste and low-grade materials while protecting the environment and making good use of valuable resources
Impact Solutions have a number of ongoing initiatives in the recycling of plastics and diversion of valuable materials away from landfill. We have the expertise and unique know-how to help recyclers and product manufacturers find and develop commercial applications for both fibre (natural & synthetic) and plastic waste streams.
As well as looking at various recycled plastics, Impact has discovered that rMDF offers some potential property enhancements for WPC over conventional WPC’s made using wood flour, including increased flexural and tensile strength. Impact successfully completed a government WRAP sponsored project with a full-scale manufacturing trial of a decking product using rMDF as a replacement for wood flour. As a further development to this work, Impact is exploring the potential to produce WPC made from recycled PVC and rMDF where significant enhancements to stiffness are possible.
Impact continues to work closely with companies already involved in plastic waste management and in particular with new entrants. New technologies to treat both bulk municipal waste and partially segregated waste plastic continue to emerge, and Impact is executing several live programmes focused on developing new products from the recovered plastic.
