BEYOND RECYCLING
IT'S DETOXED
Why RIPA ?
Cables without toxins. Plastics with a future.
What to do with tons of old cables full of lead, plasticizers, and cadmium?
We detox them – thoroughly enough to turn them back into usable raw materials.
How is that possible? Keep reading.

Cable Recycling
We turn old cables into a valuable resource
Cables without toxins. Plastics with a future.
What to do with tons of old cables full of lead, plasticizers, and cadmium?
We detox them – thoroughly enough to turn them back into usable raw materials.

“From silent sheaths emerges a bold new beginning.” Cables accompany us unseen – in houses, cars, and technology. Yet their sheaths carry a potential that has long gone unnoticed. We are reclaiming this value: from the jackets comes pure PVC once again – familiar, tested, and versatile. This creates a cycle that does not end, but continues. And the question remains: how do we achieve this?
Recycling of beverage cartons
One carton. Three materials. No problem.
We're doing what few have managed before:
Drink cartons break down into pure, single-type materials – clean, dry, and precisely separated.
How? See for yourself.
“One box – and three raw materials awaken.” Beverage cartons are everywhere – practical, lightweight, and hygienic. Yet they are made of more than meets the eye: fiber, plastic, and aluminum. We separate these layers so that each one can return to its own cycle: paper, polymers, and metal. In this way, a single package becomes proof that cycles can work with precision. And the question remains: how do we achieve this separation?
Recycling of composite packaging
PVC gets clean again. Soft and rigid.
Whether it's phthalates in soft PVC or lead in rigid PVC – we remove the harmful substances.
What remains is pure, recyclable PVC – ready for the circular economy.
How do we do it?
“When layers come apart, a new cycle begins.” Composite packaging is a true all-rounder – strong, durable, and protective. Yet for decades its ultra-thin layers made it a dead end. We have found a way to separate these bonds. Aluminium and plastics are returned to use in pure, single-type streams. In this way, complexity turns into clarity – and packaging begins to tell a new story. And the question remains: how do we separate it so precisely?
Recycling of blister packaging
Aluminum and plastic? We pull them apart.
Blister packs are considered non-recyclable.
We prove otherwise – pure materials, economically viable, and ready for large-scale use.
How do we do it? Find out here.
“Packaging that protects – and returns.” In hospitals, pharmacies and care homes, we encounter blister packs every day – they secure our supply of medicines. Yet until now, they ended up in incineration after use. We are opening up a different path for them: aluminium and plastics are turned back into separate raw materials. Thus, what was silent becomes a signal: health and circularity are not mutually exclusive. And the question remains: how do we make this scalable for the masses?
Lead and phthalate extraction
from PVC
Lead out. Period.
We extract lead from complex chemical compounds – targeted, scalable, and without generating hazardous waste.
No filters. No dilution. A real process.
Why is this a game changer for entire industries?
“PVC stays PVC – only cleaner.” PVC is versatile, durable, and indispensable. Yet for decades, additives blocked its path back into the cycle. We remove exactly these barriers – returning the polymer itself: pure, tested, and ready for new applications. In this way, a material everyone knows is preserved – only cleaner, clearer, and more future-proof. And the question remains: how do we achieve this level of precision?
Lead precipitation
Targeted recovery of lead from alkaline systems.
Where disposal was once necessary, our process creates a raw material cycle.
Safe. Scalable. Sustainable.
“A material that clears water – recovered through recycling.” Sodium aluminate is an invisible helper – it binds what clouds water. For decades, it was produced in an energy-intensive way. We now recover it directly from recycling streams: resource-efficient, low in CO₂, and ready for immediate use. Thus, what was once waste becomes a substance that protects rivers, stabilizes oceans, and safeguards the future. And the question remains: how do we unlock this source?
Sodium Aluminate
Aluminum becomes aluminate.
Waste becomes an additive.
Incineration is yesterday’s solution.
We recover vapor-deposited aluminum from plastics – and turn it into usable aluminate.
What it can be used for? Even we’re sometimes surprised.
“When one wing falls, a new cycle takes flight.” Wind turbine blades, airplane doors, ship hulls – for decades, they were considered irretrievable waste. We are rewriting that ending: cured epoxy resin is returned to reactive resin. Carbon and glass fibers are preserved – ready for new applications. In this way, standstill becomes progress – and materials once thought unrecoverable suddenly tell a story of the future. And the question remains: how do we make this possible?
Epoxy resin recycling
Wind turbine blades or hazardous waste? Not with us.
We break down old epoxy resins in a way that transforms them into reactive resins once again – instead of burning Bisphenol A, the material ends up in the next product.
How does that work? We explain it here.
“When what seemed inseparable comes apart.” Food packaging is a true freshness wonder – strong, durable, and protective. Yet for decades, its ultra-thin layers made it inseparable. We have found a way to break these bonds. Different plastics return to use in pure, single-type streams – at food-grade quality. In this way, complexity turns into clarity – and packaging begins to tell a new story. And the question remains: how do we separate it so precisely?
