A MANUFACTURERS PARTNER, WORKING
TOWARDS A 100% CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Welcome to
SKYTECH
SKYTECH is a French Greentech company, awarded by the France Relance program, supported by ADEME as well as the Program of Investments for the Future (PIA)
Our teams have developed and patented an innovative, clean industrial process to recycle post-consumer complex plastics such as those found in bumpers, vacuum cleaners, coffee machines or telephone covers (WEEE): ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PS (polystyrene) and PP (polypropylene)
Our ambition? To become a European leader in the regeneration of complex plastics and contribute to the emergence of a truly circular economy in the plastics industry
PRODUCING RECYCLED PLASTICS TO SUPPORT THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY And THE LOW CARBON TRANSITION
Founded in 2018 following a Research & Development phase conducted hand-in-hand with the CNRS, ADEME and the École Normale Supérieure at Paris-Saclay, SKYTECH has developed unique capabilities in the area of separating plastics using triboelectricity, making it possible to achieve purity levels of about 99% after sorting. These plastics can then be regenerated, transforming them into new raw materials. In this way, SKYTECH restores to waste plastic the highly technical properties required by industrial customers and plastics manufacturers
SKYTECH is located in the town of Val d’Hazey in the Eure department of Normandy (France) and employs over a hundred people. The company is helmed by Christophe LAMBOEUF and is wholly owned by the French private equity firm Xerys Invest.
OUR SUPERIOR QUALITY RESINS: A CLEAN, RELIABLE AND VIABLE ALTERNATIVE TO VIRGIN PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS
SKYTECH carries out industrial scale production of resins entirely sourced by recycling post-consumer plastic waste, i.e., from end-of-life vehicles (ELV) or electrical and electronic equipment (EEE)
Skytech produces a range of premium regenerated resins – rABS, rP², rPP – from complex mixes of post-consumer plastic waste to meet customers’ demanding standards and manufacturing constraints. Our resins have similar properties to virgin petroleum-based plastics :
- High thermal and shock resistance
- Fireproof
- Certified for toy manufacturing
- Available in a range of colors.
WE HELP OUR CLIENTS IN INDUSTRIAL AND PLASTICS MANUFACTURING TO INCORPORATE MORE RECYCLED PLASTIC IN THEIR PRODUCTION CHAIN AND REDUCE THEIR CARBON FOOTPRINT
AUTOMOBILE
We give plastics from end-of-life vehicles a second life and support the automotive industry in its recycling objectives for end-of-life products. SKYTECH assists equipment manufacturers in developing solutions for integration of regenerated material
HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
SKYTECH recycles all types of plastic casings or parts from household appliances
BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION
SKYTECH supplies the building and construction industry with supplies and materials that meet building codes
LUXURY AND DESIGN
SKYTECH assists many luxury and design industrials in the implementation of new anti-waste standards that aim to increase the incorporation of recycled plastic in packaging
HI-FI AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS
SKYTECH designs Internet routers made of recycled plastic, as well as eco-designed remote controls
OTHER INDUSTRIES
Our resins are used to manufacture a wide range of products such as packaging, displays and parts for gluing
STEP 1: PRE-PROCESSING
We receive batches of plastic waste (ABS, PS and PP received as a mix) from end-of-life vehicles or electronic devices. This waste is cleaned and finely ground to prepare it for separation
STEP 2: SEPARATION
Using our TRIBLAST technology, which is the result of R&D conducted for over 10 years with 4 registered patents, we optimize industrial sorting by triboelectricity to obtain an efficient separation of pretreated polymers. At the end of the sorting process we arrive at purity rates of around 99%
STEP 3: GRANULATION
Once separated, the plastics (rABS and rPS) are transformed into high-quality resins that can be reused in industrial environments. These resins can also be ‘custom’ produced to meet the specifications of our various customers
SKYTECH’s process is environmentally friendly:
It separates plastics without solvents and without water while consuming little energy. The premium granules produced by SKYTECH have a low carbon footprint and extend the life cycle of the plastic.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE COMMITTED TO THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
SKYTECH acts to protect natural resources and contributes more generally to the preservation of our planet. Its business, centered on a clean and innovative manufacturing process, is part of the virtuous circle of a circular economy. Our teams are proud to contribute to SKYTECH’s development as an example in the industrial ecology sector. We all share the ambition of becoming the European leader in complex plastics recycling over the next few years.
