How Our Waste Conversion Technology Works
Turning Unsegregated Waste into Industrial-Grade Thermoplastic Pellets
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is a global crisis — and the key obstacle lies in unsegregated, untreated waste piling up in landfills. At CIECO, we’ve developed a revolutionary zero-waste, no-segregation technology that transforms mixed MSW into bio-based thermoplastic pellets, with zero residual waste, no water usage, and no toxic emissions.
Here’s a step-by-step look at how our patented waste conversion process works.
🔁 Step-by-Step Waste Conversion Process
1. Raw Waste Collection & Initial Screening
We collect unsegregated waste — including organic matter, plastic, paper, rubber, glass, and even legacy waste — without the need for source segregation.
Reserve pits are used to safely store and mix the waste before processing.
2. Mechanical Pre-Treatment
The waste undergoes a series of mechanical steps to remove contaminants and prepare it for conversion.
Magnetic separation removes ferrous metals
Gravity separation isolates heavy inert materials
Scrubbing, shredding, compacting prepares waste for homogenization
3. Advanced Chemical Treatment
We apply a proprietary chemical binding process using water- and oil-based compounds that:
Stabilize mixed materials into a cohesive pulp
Neutralize harmful pathogens and gases
Ensure a safe, moldable output without creating hazardous byproducts
4. Thermal Processing without Combustion
The chemically treated pulp is subjected to low-temperature thermal blending (60–100°C), which:
Melts embedded plastics and organic binders
Dries and compacts the mixture
Avoids combustion, eliminating emissions of dioxins or furans
5. UV Drying & Granulation
The processed material is:
UV-dried in a sealed chamber to remove moisture
Compressed and pelletized into uniform granules
Enhanced with stabilizers to create strong, reusable thermoplastic pellets
6. Air Emission Control
Any gases released during the process are:
Passed through a graphene filter and scrubber system
Cooled and neutralized, ensuring only clean air is released into the environment
