We reduce the volume of Styrofoam (Thermocol) waste, one of the planet's most problematic materials, and spin it into premium HEPA-grade air filtration media. Zero landfill. Maximum value.
The Crisis
Styrofoam (Thermocol) is one of the most pervasive and least-recycled materials on earth. The consequences compound every year.
14 billion kg of EPS is produced annually worldwide. Less than 1% is recycled. It takes 500+ years to decompose, occupies 20% of landfill space, and releases styrene—a carcinogen linked to lymphoma and leukemia.
Global EPS waste costs reach $7 billion annually. Corporations face rising EPR compliance costs with no viable sustainable end-use solution. Municipalities are overwhelmed with disposal.
Existing recycling methods require heat, grinding, and high logistics costs. EPS is 98% air—making transport uneconomical. The result: almost all of it goes to landfill or incineration.
Industrial HEPA-grade filtration media is in growing demand—pharma, cleanrooms, HVAC, automotive. Current glass-fiber and synthetic solutions are expensive and petroleum-dependent.
Impact by the numbers
What We've Built
Our proprietary volume reduction and fiber-spinning process bypasses every economic barrier to Styrofoam (Thermocol) recycling. We reduce EPS volume using our APS Unit, spin it into non-woven fiber mats, and sell them as premium industrial filtration media to filter manufacturers at Rs. 1,200/unit.
"The same material that chokes landfills becomes a filter that cleans the air you breathe."
Our APS-equipped trucks reduce EPS volume on-site by 15x, cutting CO₂ emissions by 93%. Collection becomes economically viable at scale.
Proprietary APS Unit reduces EPS volume without heat or grinding. Raw material is recovered and recycled in-loop, keeping costs minimal.
Concentrated polymer is spun into controlled-diameter non-woven fiber mats—engineered for high filtration efficiency and optimal pressure drop.
Filter mats supplied to industrial manufacturers for HEPA-grade air filters. Secondary application: battery separators extending iodine-battery life by 2–4x.
Lab Results

Post-filtration dropped to sensor minimum of 1, from 999. Actual efficiency exceeds our current sensor range.
Sensor-limited resultFrom 1999 to 1 on our sensor. Confident of achieving H13-grade HEPA after pleating and formal EN 1822 testing.
H13 HEPA target ≥99.97%Economics
We earn from two sides: EPR-mandated collection fees from corporations and municipalities, and B2B sales of engineered fiber mats to filter manufacturers. Both streams are contractual and recurring.
With recycling costs 6x lower than conventional methods and a 15x transport cost reduction, unit economics are compelling at even modest volumes.
We don't compete with filter brands. We supply them. Targeting industrial filter manufacturers who need consistent, high-performance, sustainably-sourced media at competitive cost.
Proprietary dissolution process and non-woven battery separator patent filed. Secondary application in iodine-based batteries extends cell life by 2–4x, opening a second frontier.
