Circular Economy Drives Adoption of CO₂-Negative Materials in Plastics

Circular Economy Drives Adoption of CO₂-Negative Materials in Plastics

Sustainability and innovative materials are two key topics in modern plastics processing. The collaboration between the mechanical engineering company Arburg and the industrial raw materials start-up carbonauten promises exactly that: CO₂-neutral and even CO₂-negative masterbatches and compounds for industrial applications.

In an interview with K-Mag, Torsten Becker from carbonauten and Manuel Witte from Arburg talk about the background to the cooperation, the technology behind the new materials, their processing in the injection moulding process and the prospects for the future.

Cooperation for more Climate Protection in the Plastics Industry

How did the collaboration between Arburg and carbonauten come about?

Torsten Becker: It started indirectly via LinkedIn. I came into contact with a natural charcoal burner in the Black Forest who produces gourmet barbecue charcoal. In the course of our discussions, an event was mentioned – the CarbonX week as part of the Freudenstadt Baiersbronn Garden Show – which is supported by Arburg. Finally, we met with Arburg representatives. Manuel Witte was already there at the time. And it quickly became clear that we had a shared vision. This led to the first tests and finally to the co-operation.

How did Arburg view the initial talks and the possibility of working together?

Manuel Witte: For us as a company, sustainability is an essential topic. We bundle all our activities in our ‘arburgGREENworld’ programme and are always on the lookout for new materials and technologies that can help conserve resources and reduce the CO2 footprint. That’s why the project was very exciting for us right from the start.

Our aim is to ensure that the materials can be processed safely and precisely on standard machines. Arburg’s decades of experience with sustainable materials is a huge help here.

Advantages of the CO₂- negative Masterbatches

Can you explain exactly how the material production process works?

Becker: Our masterbatches and compounds, which we develop in cooperation with Arburg, are CO₂-negative. This means that they store more CO₂ than they emit during their production and use. The basis of these materials is technical biocarbon, which is obtained from plant residues – in our case, lumpy wood residues. Pyrolysis converts these into a stable carbon form that is used as an additive in plastics. The result is a material that is not only measurably more sustainable, but also mechanically stable and versatile.

What makes this material special compared to conventional plastics?

Becker: The big advantage is not only the CO₂ storage, but also the improved material properties. It is harder, stronger, more temperature-resistant, more UV-resistant, more dimensionally stable, lighter, replaces carbon black and can optimise the processing of recycled plastics as an additive. In addition, 30-50% of the polymer is avoided, which has a significantly positive effect on Scope 3 and the overall ecological balance. The most important point is that it is no more expensive than conventional fossil-based materials – in some applications it is even cheaper.

Application Examples from the Industry

What specific applications already exist for this material?

Becker: Deutsche Bahn, for example, supplies us with waste wood from pallets and railway sleepers. These materials are no longer disposed of or incinerated, but integrated into our process. This results in new components that can then be reused in industry. Demand from the EU automotive sector is now increasing enormously.

How is the industry accepting this material? Is there any scepticism regarding the quality or processing?

Witte: It is true that processors often have reservations about new materials. However, we have specifically ensured that the compounds can be processed on standard injection moulding machines without the need for additional special equipment. This makes it easier for companies to process these materials and integrate them into their portfolio.

Production and Future Plans

What about production capacity? Are there already larger production facilities?

Becker: Our first production facility in Eberswalde is ready for operation, but has not yet been fully optimised. The capacity is currently around 3,000 to 3,500 tonnes of carbon per year, which results in around 6,000 to 9,000 tonnes of compound. However, we need further investment for the full ramp-up. We are currently in financing rounds to drive forward this optimisation and expansion.

Are there plans for international expansion?

Becker: Yes, especially in China. We want to build a large factory there that produces biocarbon from waste bamboo. The planned plant will have a capacity of 30,000 tonnes of carbon and 90,000 tonnes of compound per year. The project is currently in the financing phase.

The cooperation between Arburg and carbonauten shows what sustainable innovation in the plastics industry can look like. The use of biocarbon creates materials that are not only CO₂-neutral, but even CO₂-negative. The coming years will show how these new materials establish themselves in industry and what further developments will emerge from this collaboration.

This proves that their recycled materials can meet, and even exceed, the highest standards of purity and performance across a wide range of industries.

By delivering oil-equivalent monomers, their technology sets a new benchmark for circularity, offering a genuine alternative to virgin materials. “The upcoming showcase plant validates our roadmap to creating a truly circular plastics market. Following our pilot and showcase plant, our next goal is to scale our operations to industrial size with a first of a kind commercial plant based on our technology,” said Samantha Anderson, Co-founder & CEO of DePoly.

They are ramping up with world-class innovators, bold thinkers and cutting-edge know-how—taking their pilot victory to industrial scale demands nothing less than unstoppable ambition. The company is planning to build a commercial plant in 2027 that will process significantly larger volumes of PET and polyester waste – a major leap in redefining recycling and advancing the circular economy, as they strive to become the global leader in sustainable, circular plastics.

To further accelerate this expansion, they have secured a total of $23 million in seed funding with MassMutual Ventures joining a second closing of its round. The expanded investor base positions DePoly as one of the biggest recycling technology companies in Europe, with more than $30 million raised across two rounds and grants. MassMutual Ventures joins existing investors, including Founderful, ACE & Company, Angel Invest, Zürcher Kantonalbank, BASF Venture Capital, Beiersdorf Venture Capital, and Syensqo.

“DePoly’s proven technology is a game changer addressing a crucial industrial and societal challenge. This raise and the showcase plant opening are advancing DePoly’s position as a leader in plastics recycling,” said Alix Brunet, Europe Lead at MassMutual Ventures.

David Hanf, who joined DePoly in 2024 as CFO, brings extensive experience from European scale-ups including Smava and Thermondo—Germany’s largest B2C heat service company. Both an entrepreneur and an executive, he adds: “We are convinced our technology is one of the fastest to scale and will allow us to compete with virgin pricing at scale, a key factor for success. We are happy to have expanded our investor base to the US with MassMutual Ventures as we want to build a global champion.”

By transforming discarded plastics into high-quality raw materials, DePoly reduces reliance on fossil resources, minimizes waste, and paves the way for a circular materials industry. Recognized as a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum and a winner of the 2024 Top 100 Swiss Startup Award, DePoly proves that sustainable innovation is not only possible – it’s happening now.

Novel Recovery Method for XLPE Waste Launched by STEER

In a breakthrough for plastic recycling and sustainable manufacturing, STEER World, a global leader in materials transformation technologies, has unveiled a first-of-its-kind method to recycle crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) — a material long considered non-recyclable — using its proprietary Omega Twin-Screw Extrusion Technology.

Widely used in cable insulation, piping systems, and other high-performance applications, XLPE’s exceptional durability comes from its three-dimensional network of covalent bonds. While this structure ensures thermal and mechanical resilience, it also makes the material extremely difficult to recycle using conventional methods. Most XLPE waste ends up in landfills, creating long-term environmental concerns.

To address this challenge, they have developed a solution using its state-of-the-art Omega Twin-Screw Extruder, featuring the STEER patented Fractional Geometry Technology (FGT). The process uses a combination of mechanical shear and controlled heat to break XLPE’s crosslinks while preserving its base structure—turning it into a reusable form called De-XLPE (Decrosslinked XLPE).

“This is not just an innovation in recycling—it’s a shift in how we look at thermoset waste,” said Dr. Prakash Hadimani, Global Head – Application Development Center, STEER World. “With the Omega series of machines, we’ve made it possible to recover and reuse a material that was once considered unrecoverable. That’s a win for the industry and a big step forward for sustainability.”

The modular design of the Omega machine allows precise control of temperature zones, screw speed, and configuration—factors essential to ensuring consistent and scalable decrosslinking. The resulting De-XLPE can be further processed into new products or blended with virgin polymers for a range of industrial applications.

A Game-Changer for Circular Manufacturing

This technology opens new doors for manufacturers seeking sustainable alternatives to traditional materials. It not only reduces reliance on virgin plastic but also diverts XLPE waste from landfills, making significant strides toward the circular economy.

“With this process, we’re not just recycling—we’re redefining what’s recyclable,” added Dr Hadimani. “The ability to reclaim and reintegrate thermoset materials like XLPE is a breakthrough the industry has been waiting for.”

Key Benefits of the STEER Decrosslinking Process:

  • Converts non-recyclable XLPE into usable De-XLPE
  • Reduces environmental impact and landfill burden
  • Eliminates the need for hazardous chemical treatments
  • Scalable, consistent, and energy-efficient process
  • Enables circularity in polymer manufacturing
