Scarabeus System

01

In collaboration with STU and TUKE, WP TECH FUTURE successfully demonstrated the transformation of non-recyclable mixed plastic waste into a high-value composite material that can replace natural aggregates in concrete.

Mixed plastic waste.
New construction materials.

SCARABEUS is a circular materials solution built on our WPTECHLINE reactive mixing technology. Sorting rejects and plastic-containing waste – material that today mostly ends up in incinerators or landfills – is converted into a secondary polymer material used as an aggregate substitute in concrete products.

What it enables

  • Aggregate substitution – replaces part of natural aggregates in concrete
  • Lightweight products – lighter, recyclable construction elements
  • Closed loop – materials stay in circulation instead of being burned or landfilled
  • Industrial scale – automated, modular line running 24/7

Brand Identity

04

SCARABEUS – a unique identity of the project and of the technological solution behind it.

Hexagon

A symbol of stability, engineering precision and modular technological systems.

Scarabeus

Inspired by nature. In nature the scarab beetle turns waste into life – in the SCARABEUS project we turn plastic waste into valuable construction materials.

Recycling arrows

The closed loop of the circular economy. Materials stay in circulation and do not burden incinerators or landfills.

Geometric forms

They represent building blocks, modules and the technological precision of the SCARABEUS process.

Green colour

Sustainability, environmental responsibility, renewable solutions and a positive impact on the environment.

Circular materials. Concrete solutions.

Circular materials

Expresses our commitment to turning plastic waste and mixed materials into secondary raw materials that stay in circulation.

Concrete solutions

Highlights our focus on innovative, high value-added construction products that replace standard materials and reduce the carbon footprint of the construction industry.
