The shifting focus to aid our environment, in the way of directly countering what has gone on for a few centuries (Anthropocene), will be essential in the coming years.

Microtec Development & Holdings is emerging as a superhero for the environment offering a unique and innovative solution. 

In most cases, landfills are municipal solid waste facilities that collect and bury whatever isn’t sent to municipal recovery facilities (otherwise known as MRFs). This includes food waste, paper, glass, plastic, and other products that could otherwise be composted or recycled.

Microtec uses revolutionary Micronization technology to transform this waste and other end-of life-products into engineered materials that can be used for other functions. 

A perfect example would be how the Microtec Micronization converts waste glass into pozzolan, then used to create concrete. Essentially, waste glass is transmuted into an engineered material that creates more robust, durable products and offers a use even after its original use has been served. 

Not only does the Microtec process allow for waste to be re-engineered and reduce waste that ends up in landfills, but the process is phenomenally eco-friendly and has a significant environmental impact. By engaging the Microtec Micronization process, we can save on energy, electricity, and water consumption.  

The Microtec Micronization technology allows for a complete circular economy, marking a wholesale change to the model in which resources are mined, made into products, and then become waste. A circular economy reduces material use, redesigns materials, products, and services to be less resource intensive, and recaptures “waste” as a resource to manufacture new materials and products. The Microtec technology has created a novel waste-to-product stream, a regenerative cycle that has paved the way to use waste products to transform them into new products further. These waste products may exist anywhere and stand as new feedstock from local sources instead of being melted down or landfilled. This new feedback loop will allow companies to sell new products with superior performance, benefiting the companies and the environment, as no melting equals reduced carbon emissions. 

Microtec Development & Holdings is a powerful driving force in the future of “Upcycling”. Upcycling is a term that goes beyond recycling — “upcycling” means increasing material value.

Microtec uses advanced particle engineering techniques to transform used industrial and manufacturing waste into highly reactive materials/substrates that meet client specifications.

Microtec’s AggrePlex is creating a more sustainable future by providing multiple material re-entry options into the manufacturing/concrete supply chain process, aligning with Microtec’s goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions across our supply chain.

Microtec’s AggrePlex enables peace of mind and competitive advantage from sustainable, high-value, end-of-life solutions, making businesses and, more importantly, the environment happy.
