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) |
Circularity Potential |
High (rubble reprocessing claim) |
Moderate (can be closed-loop for plastics, but fuel is open-loop) 10 |
High (polymer recovery for reuse) 8 |
Low (typically downcycling) |
US Commercial Maturity (for MLP) |
Emerging (Innova8e specific) |
Emerging to Limited Commercial (for plastics) 10 |
Primarily R&D/Pilot (for MLP) 8 |
Not commercially viable for MLP valorization |
