Grensol AG is a pioneering company in advanced recycling technology, dedicated to transforming unrecyclable industrial waste into valuable raw materials for the circular economy. The company specializes in developing breakthrough material separation solutions that address challenging waste streams, including automotive shredder residue (ASR), electronic scrap, and demolition debris. By intercepting materials typically destined for landfills or incineration, Grensol provides sustainable feedstock that supports resource recovery and minimizes environmental impact.

The company employs a patented, multi-step process developed in collaboration with leading materials science research labs. This innovative technology effectively separates ASR into its primary components: metals, minerals, and polymers. The first step involves physical separation techniques to recover high-value metals like steel, aluminum, and copper. This is followed by mineral extraction, utilizing physical methods and fluid dynamics to produce glass byproducts suitable for cement production. The final and most groundbreaking step is photolysis, a process that accelerates the natural breakdown of hydrocarbon residue into hydrogen and carbon molecules, which can then be used to produce new polymers.

Grensol's solution is designed for scalable deployment through modular micro-recycling centers, which can be seamlessly integrated into existing industrial sites where waste aggregates. This approach optimizes logistics and resource utilization, making advanced recycling as efficient as traditional waste disposal methods. Operating its first industrial-scale plant in Biberist, Switzerland, Grensol is actively expanding its capabilities to process a broader range of mixed plastic waste beyond ASR. The company's efforts significantly contribute to climate action by preventing substantial CO2 emissions, aligning with UN SDG 13, and fostering a truly circular economy by unlocking previously untapped resource streams.
