Elcon Recycling Center is an Israeli company fully owned by Shikun & Binui. The center is an advanced and modern factory located in Neot Hovav Eco-Industrial Park in the Negev, Israel, which provides a variety of services for the treatment and recycling of hazardous materials, sludge and industrial waste, including large volumes of plastic waste.
In the first stage a 0.5 ton/hour plant will be deployed in Elcon’s site, for a pilot period of ~6 months, during which Elcon will incorporate the plant into its overall operation in the recycling park.
After the pilot period the second stage of the project will commence, including a 6 ton/hour plant, consisting of three reactors each handling 2 ton/hour of plastic waste, which will be converted to 22,000,000 liters of fuel per year.
The requirements were to convert plastic waste to fuel as set forth:
- Incorporating Co-Energy’s plant into the existing facility with minimal footprint.
- Using Co-Energy’s unique and innovative technology (IP protected) with remote control advances monitoring.
- Produce fuel in a quality that is suitable to use in heavy vehicles.
- Treat all emissions, whether gas or liquid, in compliance with the most rigorous environmental standards.
The first stage was commissioned in December 2023.
