A Breakthrough in Plastic Recycling Technology

Inside the Discovery Behind Transformix™

Plastonix’s breakthrough began with a fundamental scientific question: what allows different plastics to bind together naturally? Through extensive laboratory testing, Plastonix researchers discovered the underlying common denominator shared across petroleum-derived materials. This discovery enabled our team to bind multiple plastic types—including hard-to-recycle plastics—simultaneously through a natural process known as agglomeration.

Agglomeration occurs when solid particles cluster into a connected mass. While the petroleum industry has long used binding agents, our team identified something entirely new: a natural, bio-based binding agent capable of bonding nearly any petroleum-derived material. This became Transformix™, a renewable, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly processing agent manufactured exclusively by Plastonix.

Transformix™ represents a major advance in plastic recycling technology, enabling operators, manufacturers, and recyclers to convert mixed and contaminated plastics into PX42™, a consistent, high-value raw material. PX42™ can be used for durable goods, blended with virgin resin, or integrated into downstream petrochemical applications—all without requiring chemical processing expertise.

By unlocking plastics traditionally labeled “non-recyclable,” Transformix™ opens new feedstock streams, supports extended producer responsibility goals, and strengthens the economics of recycling.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. What makes Transformix™ different from traditional binding agents?

A. Transformix™ is natural, bio-based, and capable of bonding nearly any petroleum-derived plastic at once.

Q2. Does Transformix™ work on contaminated or mixed plastics?

A. Yes. It is specifically engineered to process streams that traditional systems cannot handle.
