Resolve Plastics Recycling Ltd. RPMachine component design and testing

Resolve Plastics Recycling Ltd. (“RPR”) is pioneering a recycling technology capable of converting unsorted, unwashed plastic waste (RICs 1-7) into a valuable building material (R-Blocks) in a single pass.
Piloting of a predecessor technology in New Zealand proved its viability and established baseline specifications for R-Blocks. A new process promises to increase speed by 10X and efficiency by 3X.
During the project, RPR’s team will work with SAIT and the Centre for Innovation and Research in Advanced Manufacturing and Materials (“CIRAMM”) to pilot and test a novel heat transfer unit ("HTU"). Depending on the availability of additional resources from partners and NRCan, RPR may also test new block forming heads, and begin to optimize the properties of blocks.
