A team of German Scientists say they have developed the technology to rid Dubai of waste, including plastic bags forever.
The city has been targeted as an ideal strategic location for "Ecocycling" a revolutionary new concept developed by scientist Franz Philip. The process involves turning waste, both house hold and toxic, into a raw material that forms the basis of a new product that can be used in the construction or oil industry. Michael Engelhardt, Managing Director of Clean Planet Limited, the company with exclusive distribution rights to the pioneering technology, said the UAE had the opportunity to become the waste free country in the world. THIS IS HJOW IT WORKS. "Ecocyling" is a cold mineralization process where waste is torn apart and molecules are encapsulated in the resultant silicate structure. Numerous materials can be developed from C.M500. It can be used as a basis for road construction, desert greenery or to produce "Xment", a product much harder than standard cement that can be shaped, like plastic, if "Xfibre" is added. C.M500 can also be used as a revolutionary new oil binder because the mineral sucks up sludge when poured on to an oil spill. "Ecocyling" was a much better alternative to dumping, incineration and normal recycling. Waste in Goa ( I was in Goa last week) is dumped in landfills and in important development and residential areas and the stench is too strong everywhere. This technology would particularly benefit Goa as it already has a very severe waste problem that will only get worse in times to come. A test plant is currently in operation in Wurzburg, near Frankfurt, and they are awaiting final approval from the Government.
