GreenMantra Technologies


GreenMantra Technologies is a clean technology company that produces value-added synthetic waxes, polymer additives and other chemicals from post-consumer and post-industrial recycled plastics. These products are used in various applications including roofing and paving, plastics processing, plastics composites, inks and coatings. The company is focused on "up-cycling" recycled plastics into specialty materials, creating a more circular economy for plastics where they are beneficially reused rather than landfilled.

Background

GreenMantra Technologies uses a proprietary thermo-catalytic system and patented manufacturing process to convert recycled plastics such as grocery bags, film, bottles, caps and lids, straws, packaging, and carpet fiber into value-added waxes, polymer additives and other specialty chemicals. The company’s end products, which are sold under the Ceranovus brand name, are polyethylene and polypropylene additives that can be custom-formulated to meet specific performance requirements. These products can be used in rubber compounding and asphalt modification for roofing and paving, plastics processing, coatings and inks, adhesives, plastic composites, and other applications. The company's headquarters and manufacturing operations are in Brantford, Ontario, Canada.
In 2017, the company announced the development of an allied technology that converts post-consumer polystyrene into unique styrenic polymers with applications in inks, coatings and insulation. Greenmantra began construction of a demonstration plant for this technology in 2018 that is scheduled to be completed and operational in 2019.
