With approximately 9 billion people in the world today, our consumption and waste generation continue to escalate, despite our growing acceptance of recycling as a solution. Many recyclable materials end up in landfills due to the high cost or environmental challenges of recycling certain types. Even products that are recycled often undergo down cycling eventually end up in landfills. This highlights the importance of closed-loop recycling, where materials are continuously recycled without loss of quality or value.

ProCat aims to utilise the this closed-loop recycling system, reaping many benefits:

• Environmental conservation: Recycling reduces the need for raw materials extraction, conserving natural resources and minimising environmental degradation
• Energy savings: Recycling automotive cores consumes less energy compared to producing new materials from scratch, leading to reduced energy consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions
• Cost-effectiveness: Recycling can be a cost-effective alternative to sourcing raw materials, especially when considering the rising costs of virgin materials and waste disposal
• Supply chain security: Recycling automotive cores creates a closed-loop system, ensuring a stable supply of materials for manufacturing without reliance on external sources
• Reduced landfill waste: Recycling diverts automotive cores from landfills, reducing the amount of waste and mitigating environmental pollution
• Innovation opportunities: Recycling promotes innovation in materials recovery and processing technologies, leading to advancements in sustainable manufacturing practices
• Corporate responsibility: Embracing recycling demonstrates a commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability, enhancing brand reputation and customer loyalty
