About
RECYMAR is a Belgian recycling company with head office in Mechelen and logistic and recycling centres in Antwerp and Casablanca (Morocco).
RECYMAR specialises in the recycling of used carpets, textiles and production leftovers from carpet production. All these materials are non-hazardous and are included in Annex IX (the “Green List”) of the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal.
RECYMAR collects used carpets and textiles from certified waste collectors and processes the collected materials in the RECYMAR sorting and recycling centres in Morocco and Belgium. In these recycling centres, valuable synthetic materials like nylon, polypropylene and vinyl are recovered and delivered back to the synthetics industry for re-use. Wool and cotton fibres are recovered for re-use in insulation panels, stuffing of sofa’s and car seats, wrapping of drainage pipes, etc. The calcium carbonate is recovered from the carpet backings and used as a raw material for the production of calcium and cement. The remaining material that cannot be re-used is transformed into our TECAPOWER® fuel products. TECAPOWER® products are produced according to strict specifications and internationally accepted standards (European standard EN 15359) and have a higher calorific value and much more consistent chemical composition than common SRF products. TECAPOWER® products are delivered to cement plants and thermal power plants where they are used as a high calorie alternative fuel. The use of TECAPOWER® instead of more contaminating fuels like coal and petcoke, reduces fuel costs and lowers emission of harmful heavy metals, SOx and NOx.
