Turning insulation
waste into a resource.
Ætheria is developing practical solutions to recover valuable materials from insulation foam waste. Our flagship technology, MonoFoam™, brings processing, F-gas capture, and material recovery directly to the source.
Insulation foam waste creates three challenges.
01
Costly to move
Bulky foam takes up valuable transport space. Moving large volumes of low-density waste adds cost before recovery can even begin.
02
Risk of gas emissions
Some insulation foams contain F-gases with high global warming potential. Poorly controlled handling and processing can release them into the atmosphere.
03
Resources lost
When foam is incinerated or landfilled, opportunities to recover valuable materials are lost.
Meet MonoFoam™
The first fully mobile system that extracts and captures blowing agents where the waste is. Gases are neutralized; materials are recovered.
Four steps, one unit.
Load panels
Insulation panels are fed into the on-site system.
Shred foam
Foam is shredded while harmful gases are captured.
Separate materials
Facings, metals, and polymers are sorted into clean material streams.
Recover
Recovered polymers are compressed and prepared for chemical recycling.
Compliance that pays for itself.
Lower logistical costs
Process bulky foam waste at the source, reducing the volume of waste that needs to be transported by 84%.
Prevent emissions
Capture and destroy harmful fluorinated gases before they reach the atmosphere, ahead of tightening EU F-gas rules.
Recover value
Turn end-of-life foam into valuable feedstock that can be sold to recycling companies.
