Ending the myth of plastic recycling
THE PROBLEM
FOR GENERATIONS COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD HAVE BEEN FED THE MYTH THAT THEIR PLASTIC WASTE IS BEING EFFECTIVELY RECYCLED.
THE FACT IS LESS THAN
9%
OF ALL PLASTIC
EVER MADE HAS
BEEN RECYCLED
THE PROBLEM
WHY ISN'T MORE PLASTIC WASTE RECYCLED?
BECAUSE IT'S DIFFICULT AND EXPENSIVE TO DO
OF THE 7 GRADES OF PLASTIC ONLY 2 ARE WIDELY RECYCLED
MIXED PLASTIC WASTE AND CONTAMINATED WASTE CAN NOT BE RECYCLED WITH TRADITIONAL METHODS
100% OF COMMINGLED GRADES OF CONTAMINATED WASTE PLASTICS GO DIRECTLY INTO LANDFILLS, THE OCEANS, OR ARE INCINERATED
THE SOLUTION
IMT HAS PROVEN TECHNOLOGY IP TO COST EFFECTIVELY RECYCLE
ALL GRADES OF CONTAMINATED MIXED PLASTIC WASTE, CONVERTING IT INTO HIGH VALUE CONSTRUCTION GRADE BUILDING MATERIALS and other products.
Finally ending the myth of plastic recycling.
THE PRODUCT
FROM THIS
IMT facilities accept virtually all plastic waste from any source regardless of dirt, food and other contaminants.
This previously un-recyclable waste can now be transformed into durable construction materials and specialty molded products.
Every ton of plastic recycled by IMT saves 685 gallons of oil and 30 cubic yards of landfill space. Each ton of IMT products used instead of wood saves one large tree from forest harvest.
TO THIS
IMT products are extremely durable, require no maintenance, and are guaranteed against environmental attack.
IMT products are equal in functional performance to single-grade solid plastic lumber and superior to wood-plastic composites. IMT material is ideal for earth-buried and water-submerged uses, and for all types of outdoor construction.
Major advantages of IMT construction products are that no foundation is required and the material does not support combustion.
