A strong alliance of recycling technology pioneers
The birth of Ad Rem originated from the strategic collaboration between two industry powerhouses: European recycling giant Group Galloo injected decades of practical experience in recycling into it, while Valtech Group, which focuses on the recycling field, provides support with the technical accumulation of its 15 niche engineering companies, forming a dual core advantage of "practical experience+engineering innovation".
Based on this solid foundation, Ad Rem has established the mission of "leading the way through technological innovation to provide solutions for improving resource recovery rates from fragmented waste worldwide" and the vision of "consolidating the global recycling market position through technological innovation and providing long-term, high-quality sustainable solutions". Nowadays, this ambitious team has become a recognized technology leader in the industry, and ASR plastic recycling technology is a landmark achievement in fulfilling its mission.

Breakthrough ASR recycling bottleneck with technology
In Ad Rem's technology matrix, ASR plastic recycling technology can be regarded as a "disruptive innovation", facing the long-standing pain point of the industry: traditional recycling technology is difficult to accurately separate the complex and diverse plastic fragments in ASR, resulting in the long-term waste of these resources. And Ad Rem has completely solved this problem through the deep integration of materials science and engineering technology.
(1) Density Separation of Calcium Carbonate Media: A Separation Revolution Accurate to the "Micron Scale"
The calcium carbonate medium density separation technology developed by Ad Rem is the core breakthrough in ASR plastic recycling. Unlike traditional water-based flotation methods that can only roughly separate materials of different densities, this technology uses a water-based slurry containing suspended calcium carbonate particles as the medium. By precisely adjusting the slurry density, it can achieve the separation of plastics within an extremely narrow density range - an accuracy that traditional methods cannot achieve.
Specifically, the mixed plastics such as PP, PE, ABS, PS in ASR waste often have small density differences that are difficult to distinguish, while Ad Rem's technology can separate these plastics one by one like a "precision sieve" by controlling the density gradient of calcium carbonate slurry. The purity of the final recycled plastic fully meets the manufacturing standards for secondary raw materials, and can be directly reintroduced into the production cycle of automobiles and industrial manufacturing, truly achieving a closed-loop of "waste to resources".
(2) Challenging historical limitations: turning 'non recyclable' into 'high-value resources'
For a long time, plastics in ASR have been recognized by the industry as "low value or even worthless waste" due to their complex composition, severe pollution, and difficulty in separation, and most of them face the fate of landfill or incineration. And Ad Rem's technology completely breaks this limitation: through an efficient separation system, plastic fragments that were originally destined to be wasted are converted into high-purity recycled raw materials, not only reducing the total amount of waste, but also maximizing the utilization of every resource.
Data shows that this technology can increase the recycling rate of ASR plastics to a whole new height, directly helping recycling companies and the automotive industry reduce their environmental footprint - reducing landfill volume and CO ₂ emissions. At the same time, it responds to environmental regulations such as the EU ELV Directive (End of Life Vehicle Recycling Directive) and provides hardcore support for achieving circular economy goals.

Recycling solutions covering multiple scenarios
Based on the core technology of ASR plastic recycling, Ad Rem has built a recycling solution covering multiple scenarios, providing customized support for different types of waste disposal.
(1) ASR Plastic Separation System: The 'Core Engine' for Converting Waste into Raw Materials
The ASR plastic separation system designed specifically for automotive debris is Ad Rem's signature product. It integrates calcium carbonate medium density separation technology and intelligent control module, which can accurately separate high-purity plastics such as PP, PE, ABS, PS from ASR waste with severe pollution and complex composition. The system adopts a modular design that can seamlessly integrate with existing crushing and post crushing production lines, allowing recycling enterprises to upgrade their ASR processing capabilities without the need for large-scale infrastructure upgrades, achieving "low-cost and efficient upgrades".
