Title:

Recycled Plastic Building Blocks Production

Agreement Number:

1018587

Agreement Value:

$75,000.00

Agreement Date:

May 1, 2024 - Mar 31, 2025

Description:

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.
