Waste to resource: a recycling revolution

A LOCAL SOLUTION TO A GLOBAL CHANGE

Global pollution is outpacing contemporary waste management. Overflowing landfills, oceans choked with rubbish, and endless plastic stockpiles are the grim global reality.

Cracking this complex challenge requires a revolution, founded in innovation and environmentally friendly technology. Progress must be cheaper, smarter, and rooted in local solutions.

We’re an Australian clean tech start up converting household waste into energy

Cyclion Science-lead system costs less, is modular and therefore scalable, and has negligible emissions.

PioneEring technology

“Recycling has been around for over centuries, but less than 10% of plastic waste is actually recycled.1 The current recycling processes require significant mechanical force to sort and pre-treat mixed waste, but Cyclion mitigates this issue by rapidly and efficiently converting waste into energy. It’s the solution our planet has been asking for for decades.”

LOCAL TECH FOR A GLOBAL PROBLEM

Our Technology

Embark on a recycling revolution, where minimal pretreatment is powered by unique design and catalysts. Operating below 310ºC, alongside atmospheric pressure, it slashes costs, paving the way for Cyclion to be your economically viable solution on a small and large scale. Its modular design is your bridge to a greener future; whether you're on an island, in a remote region, or at the heart of a vibrant urban center.

Revolutionise recycling

Scalable
and modular

The Cyclion System is able to scale to the size to suit its community with rolled out across small nations who have been underserved by larger systems. It’s modularity also makes it a great candidate for regional and remote community waste management and could facilitate it being mobile if necessary.

Revolutionise recycling

Low emissions & environmentally safe

We use specially selected molten salts that exist as liquids at or near room temperature characterised by low toxicity, melting points, volatility, and strong thermal stability. The relatively lower temperature, lower pressure and special catalysts curb harmful gas production. We also use Algae tanks to purify water, exhaust gases, and convert CO2 to O2, ensuring an eco-friendly and sustainable system.
