The Recycling Process

Knowaste's recycling process is the world's first, environmentally friendly, and cost effective solution to meeting the global challenge of disposing Absorbent Hygiene Products (AHPs): diapers, adult incontinence and feminine hygiene products.

Knowaste can customise a recycling facility to meet the needs of a particular community or region through a large or small scale recycling facility.

The process involves three key stages:

  1. Used diapers, adult incontinence and feminine hygiene products (AHPs) are collected and transported to a Knowaste plant.
  2. The Knowaste process sterilizes the AHP material, deactivates and mechanically separates the individual components:  organic residue, plastic and super absorbent polymers.
  3. The reclaimed components can then be made into recycled products such as:

 
  • Plastic wood
  • Plastic roofing tiles
  • Absorption materials
  • Process sweeteners
  • Recycled paper products
  • Green energy
