Visual representation of clean energy and IQ-HEAT gasification technology.

We don't recycle waste.

We build industries out of it.

We transform environmental liabilities into high-value products, using other waste as the only energy source.

Others have tried. None have turned it into a real business. We have.

THE PROBLEM

Two massive problems. Zero real solutions. Until now.

Industries generate enormous volumes of waste that accumulate as environmental liabilities with no profitable disposal method. At the same time, they spend billions annually on fossil fuels to sustain their production processes.

Unsustainable problems, coexisting for decades, with no one connecting them.
The underlying barrier has always been the same: no one could produce clean industrial heat from mixed waste at a cost that made the business viable. We can.

2.000M+

tons of solid waste generated annually worldwide

95%

of industrial heating continues to depend on fossil fuels

~0%

of the complex mixed plastics are profitably recovered today

US$

annual spending by global industry on managing waste, without recovering anything in return.

HOW IT WORKS

Plastic waste as an energy source. Environmental liabilities as raw material. High-value products as a result.

Our technology converts waste directly into clean industrial heat of 1,400°C ( IQ-Heat® ). No prior sorting. No shredding. No pretreatment of any kind .

This heat drives the transformation of industrial waste into high-value products. The result: two problems solved simultaneously—a single process integrated into new production lines where both raw materials and energy are essentially free.

FUEL

Waste

rubber, all kind of plastics, wood, etc

RAW MATERIAL

Environmental liabilities

rubber, plastics in general, wood, etc.

RESULT

Valued Products

Clean scrap, coal, HQ biochar, quicklime, copper, steam, etc.

REACTOR

IQ-HEAT

smart heat for a 1,400°C process

Zero sorting. Zero shredding

Any plastic, any size—straight into the system

Emissions comparable to natural gas

Clean gas combustion profile, virtually zero indirect COâ‚‚ emissions.

Minimal and fixed energy cost

The fuel is waste - available everywhere at zero or negative cost.

Modular and rapidly deployable

Scalable units, installed in parallel, with low capital cost.

TOTAL CIRCULARITY

CIRQLAR S.A. logo, symbol of circular economy and waste valorization.

Everything is included. Nothing is ruled out.

No end point. Only transformation.

Our processes don't generate new waste because there's nothing to waste. Every bit of waste that comes in is completely transformed into something valuable and useful in another process. The cycle is completely closed.

SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN

Highly successful semi-industrial pilots

High-temperature rotary kiln fueling

First full-scale industrial plant

Successful full-scale processing of heavy industrial components, including 2.8-meter mining mill liners, spools, and rollers.

8-meter kiln producing quicklime using heat generated 100% from end-of-life tires and rubber waste (such as conveyor belts). Co-financed by a major Chilean industrial partner.

Currently in the detailed engineering phase alongside a key player in the Chilean industry. This facility will serve as the benchmark for our global rollout.

OUR PURPOSE

"Where others see waste, we build industry."

The recycling industry has spent decades managing problems rather than solving them. We operate on a fundamentally different premise: every waste stream holds untapped value—carbon, hydrogen, raw materials—just waiting for the right process to unlock it. CIRQLAR is that process. Not a research project. Not a subsidized initiative. A business model that works because the underlying economics are fundamentally different.

If you're facing this challenge,
we need to talk.

Whether you manage industrial waste, operate in the mining or forestry sectors, or simply share our vision—let's talk. CIRQLAR is open to clients, strategic partners, and investors.
