| Green EnviroTech will incorporate Ergonomy's technology in its proposed Fond Du Lac, WI facility |
Green EnviroTech Corp., a plastics recovery, separation, cleaning, and recycling specialist, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wolfe Creek Mining, Inc. has signed an exclusive deal to license a patent pending recycling technology from Ergonomy LLC of Wisconsin.
The deal combines Ergonomy's powerful technology with Green EnviroTech's unique patented process to help reduce the amount of shredder residue (SR) going to landfills by 50%. It also significantly reduces carbon footprints by allowing businesses to utilize recycled materials in their own products.
Recovered plastic from SR contains PCBs, lead and other contaminants that historically been impossible to remove, and are classified as hazardous waste by the EPA. The proprietary method from Ergonomy is the first of its kind to isolate contaminants from plastic and rubber materials before they are further processed or separated, effectively removing the PCBs without harming the plastic, and thereby eliminating the potential for contamination.
Green EnviroTech expects to incorporate the Ergonomy technology as a key process in its proposed Fond Du Lac, WI facility.
"We are pleased to partner with Ergonomy LLC to help further address the explosive demand for recycled plastic which has increased dramatically over the past decade," said Jeff Chartier, President, Green EnviroTech. "With this exclusive deal, we are able to put the recycled plastics back into commerce at even lower levels than the EPA standard."
