Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Organizations

Resolve Plastics Recycling Ltd.

$75,000.00

Recycled Plastic Building Blocks Production

FY 2024-25 · 2024-05-01

Summary
Resolve Plastics Recycling Ltd. (“RPR”) is pioneering a recycling technology capable of converting unsorted, unwashed plastic waste (RICs 1-7) into a valuable building material (R-Blocks) in a single pass. Piloting of a predecessor technology in New Zealand proved its viability and established baseline specifications for R-Blocks. A new process promises to increase speed by 10X and efficiency by 3X. During the Project, RPR’s team will work with SAIT and the Centre for Innovation and Research in Advanced Manufacturing and Materials (“CIRAMM”) to design and model novel components for future fabrication and testing. Results from the pilot will inform the final design for demonstration of an RPMachine capable of processing 3 Tonnes/hr.

Description (French)
Resolve Plastics Recycling Ltd. (« RPR ») est à l’origine d’une technologie de recyclage capable de convertir les déchets plastiques non triés et non lavés (RICs 1-7) en un matériau de construction précieux (R-Blocks) en un seul passage. La mise à l’essai d’une technologie antérieure en Nouvelle-Zélande a prouvé sa viabilité et a permis d’établir des spécifications de base pour les R-Blocks. Un nouveau procédé promet de multiplier la vitesse par 10 et l’efficacité par 3. Au cours du projet, l’équipe de RPR travaillera avec le SAIT et le Centre for Innovation and Research in Advanced Manufacturing and Materials («CIRAMM») pour concevoir et modéliser de nouveaux composants en vue d’une fabrication et d’essais futurs. Les résultats du projet pilote serviront de base à la conception finale d’une machine RPM capable de traiter 3 tonnes par heure.
