Insights into feedstock, based on process data and empirical values

🔍 Our last post focused on the robustness of our process. Today, we’ll dive into the details—providing further insights into feedstock based on process data and operational experience from our plant at Infraserv Park Frankfurt Höchst.

‼️One thing is certain: The challenge lies not only in recycling itself, but in the raw materials. A functioning circular economy must be able to cope with reality—and that reality is characterized by heterogeneous waste streams.

♻️ In other words: Heterogeneous plastic waste that is difficult to recycle is our reality. This is exactly where we come in: Using a robust process, ARCUS is able to process a wide variety of heterogeneous waste streams. The key is being able to produce a consistent product quality from these streams—in our case, high-quality pyrolysis oil.

👉 In our view, a functioning circular economy requires solutions that have proven themselves in real-world and industrial settings. And that’s exactly what ARCUS stands for. Want some facts and figures? You’ll find more information in the attached slides. 

✅ ARCUS currently processes waste from more than 10 different post-consumer sources
✅ Approximately 70% of our input consists of PO-rich mixed plastics, which are largely unsuitable for mechanical recycling
✅ Thanks to ARCUS technology and our unique process control, we achieve consistent output quality—regardless of fluctuations in the feedstock

💙With over 3,500 hours of successful plant operation, we were able to validate our process under real-world conditions—clear proof of our technology’s industrial viability.

💡 Conclusion: For us, chemical and mechanical recycling go hand in hand and must complement each other to achieve a sustainable circular economy. Thanks to our robust process, we are able to serve as a true complement to mechanical recycling—precisely where mechanical recycling reaches its limits.
