PTXPO Recap: Turning E-Waste into Durable Building Materials
Check out what you missed on the PTXPO show floor. Canon and Repolytex showcased a unique solution that skips the costly and complex plastic separation process entirely.
Recycling household electronics like printers is notoriously difficult due to the wide variety of plastics involved.
At PTXPO 2025, Canon and showcased a unique solution that skips the costly and complex plastic separation process entirely. Instead, Repolytex separates out the metals and processes the mixed plastics into a powder, creating a hybrid material used to manufacture durable sheeting. The resulting boards are weather-resistant, dimensionally stable, and suitable for construction and marine applications.
This video highlights an alternative recycling approach that turns complex plastic waste streams into useful new products—without sorting by polymer type or color.
