We do not need to elaborate on the current global urgency in finding better ways to recycle and rehabilitate materials to eliminate some of the serious ecological and global supply shortage issues that are faced across industrial and consumer sectors.
When we started with the development of the VIS36 machine, we were not expecting our machine to have the impact it is having in addressing key sustainability and recycling problems and has been a fulfilling aspect of developing applications for the machine.. The VIS machine is helping create new opportunities in recycled materials and is providing a new way to solve some of the roadblock problems that existed in the recycling of certain materials. In some cases we have managed to make materials workable that were never commercially considered before, and where we can help ease global shortage issues for products crucial to ongoing construction and other core global development needs. In other cases we have managed to open up new options for materials that can be used and thereby reduce (even eliminate!) the need to be mining or extracting those materials from ecologically sensitive and threatened areas.
We have had recycling breakthroughs in providing high volume/more effective material recycling so as to be an obvious new stand alone solution. We have managed to progress in these areas by working with partners who are focused on solving specific problems or researching solutions for these problems. It is not possible for VIS to research and focus on all the different areas our machines can be applied to, so we are keen to work with partners in opening up new avenues of application in this vital space.
