The Knowaste technology is used to clean, treat, recycle and recover energy from Absorbent Hygiene Products (AHPs).

• Nappies
• Adult Incontinence Products
• Feminine Hygiene Products

Our patented process deactivates the SAP and extracts plastic recyclate from the AHPs.  The remaining cellulose fibre can be cleaned sufficiently for reuse or gasified to create electricity.

The Knowaste technology is:

• Innovative
• Efficient
• Cost Effective
• Flexible
• Environmentally sensitive

Knowaste's recycling technology can be customized to support a small demonstration project in a single community or scaled-up to service a regional recycling program. This flexibility allows the company to market to a diverse and growing group of interests including waste management companies, local authorities, product manufacturers, hospitals, senior care facilities and many more.

Used nappy recycling is becoming an environmental and economic necessity and Knowaste's scalable technology is an efficient and cost-effective method for addressing this important issue.
