Upcycling
USEON builds extrusion lines that take plastic and rubber waste back to a usable material: PET flakes to pellets, fibre and sheet, EPS waste to expandable beads, XPS scrap to PS pellets, tire crumb to tire-derived polymer. For waste that mechanical recycling cannot handle, our twin screw extruders serve pyrolysis and depolymerization.
- PET
- Polystyrene foam
- PP / PE
- Rubber
