Products & services

Eco Materials develop new recycling processes and technology to create an industrial advantage. We set up complete recycling facilities including in-/outbound logistics. Our production is data driven and highly automated.

We but build and operate waste wood recovery facilities that we own or through joint ventures in the Nordics, and deliver to partners/customers who operates themselves in other markets.

Eco Materials core competencies are designing area and energy efficient plants that are highly automated, and deriving data on how to improve production efficiency for material recovery. Production for material recovery requires a very different production process than producing wood chips for incineration.

Production capacity

Orkanger plant:

  • produces 10 ton of recycled woodchips per hour
  • R&D center for material recovery of waste wood
  • deliver wood chips to chipboard and wood fiber insulation production
  • an approved end-of-waste process for our products

Capacity pr new plant:

  • scalable to produce 10–40-ton recycled woodchips pr hour, pr line
  • 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

R&D

Eco Materials have done extensive R&D on how to increase material recovery from waste wood, and how to improve the quality of wood chips from waste wood. There is a tremendous difference in producing woodchips for material recovery rather than for incineration and energy.

Our R&D has two main directions:

  1. material recovery technology
  2. requirements for replacing virgin wood with recycled wood

We are currently working the following use cases for recovered wood:

  1. wood panels
  2. wood fiber insulation
  3. biochar
    • used as a reducing agent in processing industry
    • CO2 capture and soil improvement
    • CO2 capture in cement

We work with the whole value chain to improve:

  • pre-sorting on site to reduce transportation cost and increase material recovery
  • material flow to reduce cost and CO2 emission
  • shredding + sifting to reduce material loss and cost from managing unwanted fractions
  • detecting and removing unwanted objects with AI
  • control and documentation according to recipients’ requirements
  •  complete end-of-waste process, delivering a secondary raw material meeting the criteria for circularity and sustainability
  • logistics and “just in time” production

At Eco Materials R&D center in Orkdal, Norway, we have a complete production line for waste wood recycling up and running. Our ability to run  volume testing daily have given us large amounts of data on how to improve performance.

Consulting services

In Eco Materials we have extensive knowledge in how to successfully create and implement change management models supporting implementation of new technology in major organizations. Everything we do in Eco Materials is based on our ability to successfully create and implement rapid change.

  • we support government agencies and businesses to develop and implement strategic, tactical, and operational plans for a circular economy and sustainability throughout the entire lifecycle of wood-based products
  • to find and implement technology that makes it financially sound to operate in a circular economy

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