About Alkyl Recycling

Alkyl Recycling is building the circular solution for absorbent hygiene products (AHPs), including baby diapers and adult incontinence materials. These essential products support health and dignity but become one of the most problematic waste streams after use. Around 250 million single-use diapers are discarded globally every day, contributing to more than 38 million tons of solid waste each year. Disposable diapers can take up to 500 years to decompose, posing a persistent environmental challenge. Alkyl Recycling has developed a proprietary low-temperature chemo-mechanical process that separates used diapers into high-quality plastics, cellulose, and super-absorbent polymers. Our technology achieves high material recovery with net-negative CO₂ emissions, offering a scalable and economically viable alternative to landfill and incineration. Based at Brightlands Chemelot Campus, Alkyl collaborates with stakeholders to accelerate large-scale deployment. Our mission is simple: preserve the benefits of diapers without the environmental cost.
