Impact that’s built to last.
Plastic's complex, multi-layered structure, common in food and consumer packaging, makes it incredibly challenging to recycle. These fused layers of different plastics and aluminium create a massive disposal burden due to debonding, contamination, and high energy/cost barriers. It's a global dilemma that demands an innovative solution.
Gathering post-consumer (PCW) and post-industrial (PIW) plastic waste.
Creating sustainable aggregate ready for construction applications.
Compacting and preparing the collected plastic materials for processing.
Advanced treatment of plastic waste, preparing it for new life.
Incorporating proprietary minerals and compatibilizers for optimal material bonding.
PolyQor's end-to-end process transforms unrecyclable multi-layered plastics into EcoGrete™. Our technology boasts excellent feedstock tolerance, superior contamination handling, and high end-product value, offering a truly scalable and cost-effective circular economy solution unlike any other.
EcoGrete™ provides affordable, eco-friendly concrete solutions with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. Our products, including EcoPavers, EcoBlocks, EcoTiles, and EcoAsphalt, offer enhanced performance and durability through their unique hydrophobic properties, converting MLP waste and dramatically reducing landfill dependency.
We’re thrilled to share the highlights of Sustainability Awards 2024, a platform recognizing outstanding contributions toward a sustainable future.
KARACHI: Shell Pakistan Limited (SPL) has launched the country’s first-ever recycled plastic retail site, Malik Service Station, on Shahrae Faisal, Karachi.
The VerdExim Sustainability Awards are instituted by Exim Finance, a Dubai-based finance facilitation company,
PolyQor is at the forefront of transforming plastic waste into valuable resources, creating a circular economy for materials that were once considered unrecyclable. We invite investors, potential partners, and environmentally conscious consumers to join us in this vital mission. Together, we can build a world where plastic pollution is a problem of the past.

MLP Feedstock Tolerance | High (designed for variability & complexity) | Moderate to Low (sensitive to contamination, some types problematic) 10 | Moderate (depends on solvent & MLP composition; contamination issues) 8 | Very Low (ineffective for bonded layers) 8 |
Energy Intensity | Aiming for lower | High (requires high temperatures) 10 | Variable (can be energy-intensive depending on process) 8 | Moderate |
Cost-Effectiveness (Projected) | Potentially high (local processing, avoids complex separation) | Moderate to Low (high CapEx & OpEx) 10 | Moderate to Low (solvent costs, complex process) 8 | Low (if even feasible for MLP, yields low value) |
Scalability | High (decentralized, modular machine deployment) | Moderate (large centralized plants typical) 10 | Low to Moderate (scaling challenges exist) 8 | Not scalable for MLP valorization |
End-Product Quality/Value | Potentially high (durable building material – hybrid gravel) | Variable (fuel, naphtha, waxes – value depends on refining) 10 | Potentially high (recovered polymers, if pure) 8 | Very Low (poor quality, limited applications) |
