Technology
Trash in. Building material out.
Our patent-pending process transforms municipal solid waste into a stable, inert building material. It uses standard industrial equipment designed for continuous operation.
The process
From the tipping floor to the pallet.
- Receive
Waste arrives
Municipal solid waste comes into a plant built next to an existing waste facility, with recyclables recovered first.
- Transform
Zyleno material
Our patent-pending process turns the remaining waste into a sanitized, inert granular material.
- Build
Masonry units
Zyleno material is formed and cured into standard concrete masonry units.
