Products & services

Eco Materials develops technology and production processes to create an industrial advantage in material recycling. Together with our partners, we design and set up complete recycling facilities, including inbound and outbound logistics. Our production is data-driven and highly automated. 

Sorting systems – we produce and deliver machines with AI-optimized sorting, and systems for removing metals. We have built our own AI architecture that allows for rapid development and implementation of new sorting models. We have sorting models for waste wood ready, but we can also deliver sorting models for other materials.  

Automation – we design and deliver fully automated sorting lines, either by combining our sorting systems with existing machinery, or a complete new sorting line.

Change Management – our team has decades of experience in advisory and project management related to implementing new technology. We help customers with the transition from waste reduction to material recovery since this change is as much about changing organizational mindset as implementing new technology 

At our production site in Orkanger, we can recycle piles of waste wood…

…into cleaned wood chips, ready to be used as a secondary raw material in place of or mixed with primary raw materials. 

See the eco materials R&D page for how we have built unique solutions and expertise for material recovery.

Metal Removal  

we supply high precision metal detectors for use in coarse materials that require a combination of precision and robustness.  

  • we remove conductive materials  
  • we remove magnetic metal down to 1mm diameter  
  • we remove non-magnetic metal down to 2mm diameter 

Sorting Machines  

we provide camera-based sorting machines for removing unwanted objects in a material flow.  

  • we detect “all” objects that our AI is trained on and that are visible with the current set of sensors  
  • we use multiple camera angles that ensure good visibility of objects in the material flow  
  • we use multiple light frequencies that improve the visibility of certain elements  
  • we remove all unwanted objects from the material flow as long as they are within reasonable physical dimensions 

Light Particle Removal  

We supply systems for the removal of dust and light particles. These are particles that reduce the ability of cameras to detect unwanted objects, or that do not have a smooth flight path and are a challenge for optical sorting machines. 

  • removing dust produced after sieving 
  • removing light particles with large surface (thin plastic, paper, etc.)

Applications for eco materials technology and production processes  

Our technology and production processes have been tested to produce the following products with recycled wood as an input:  

  • wood panels  
  • chipboard, OSB, veneer, MDF/HD, wood fiber insulation  
  • cardboard  
  • animal litter  
  • reduction material in the metallurgical industry  
  • biochar (all categories according to The European Biochar Certificate (EBC))  
  • metallurgical industry 
  • soil improvement  
  • addition in concrete for CO2 quotas  
  • smaller furnaces that are not approved for waste incineration 

Chipboards produced with recycled wood chips from eco materials

Capacity pr new plant​

  • scalable to process 10–60-ton waste wood pr hour, pr line (we can build bigger, but doubt that is necessary )​
  • electrically powered components​
  • dimensioned for 5000 operating hours per year​
  • area and energy efficient production. Smalest production line requires 120 square meters surface under roof, 8m height​
  • 10-ton pr hour set up can be delivered as a mobile solution​
  • a new production line is operational 6-months from project start

Eco Materials will lead the change in how waste wood is recycled and reused through implementing new technology and changing recycling processes
