Mixcycling bio-composites

Solution overview

All Mixcycling products are biocomposites. This means that they contain a percentage (from 10% to 70%) of organic fiber mixed with a polymer base that can be virgin, recycled or bio-based. Based on users needs Mixcyling develops different ranges of biocomposites through the following process: 1) FIBER RECOVERY AND SELECTION We select byproducts from the agro-industrial supply chain according to sustainability criteria as well as technical and processing features. 2) FIBER TREATMENT Within 24 hours from arrival to our facilities, we enter the fibers in our process. We grind them, then sieve them and separate dusts and granules by their different granulometries. 3) FIBER ACTIVATION AND NTP TECHNOLOGY Thanks to a patented process including NTP (Non-Thermal Plasma) technology, we can reactivate the fibers thus readying them for an even closer bond to the polymer base. 4) SPECIAL MIXING Our patented process allows us to join cohesively the polymer base with the fiber. A unique technology resulting in blends with high technical and aesthetic performances. 5) MIXCYCLING BLEND The result is a pellet, which is sanitized once again through NTP technology and purified from odours and volatile compounds (V.O.C.).
