The nominees were:

  • FaterSMART – FaterSMART used absorbent hygiene products (AHP) recycling technology
  • Diaper Recycling Technology - Pureflow8 – In flight material separator
  • TiHive™ - TULIPZ

Winner - The FaterSMART recycling technology, is able to recycle used absorbent hygiene products i.e. baby diapers, adult incontinent diapers and feminine pads, and recover 100% of the raw materials i.e. plastic, cellulose and super absorbent polymers that can be used in new production process in a circular economy environment.

Nominee - The latest advance technology “PUREFLOW IN - FLIGHT MATERIAL SEPARATOR (G8)” is based on 4 years of intense R&D focus by DRT and encompasses all previous R&D learnings from G1 through to G7. G8 will be the final roll-out platform for DRT and stands as great tribute to the DRT teams who have worked tremendously hard to complete this tremendous milestone. The G8 design guarantees an increase of performance, material purity and work efficiency and enables customers to recover up to 87% of their raw material financial investment.

Nominee - Our inspection system TULIPZ sees through materials at high speeds. It is built with cutting edge Terahertz imaging technology that measures geometric and physical parameters such as thickness, grammage & humidity. Our breakthrough vision technology is miniature and scalable. It fits in the most difficult production zones. Our cameras are safe for operators (as opposed to X-Rays), and require no protection gear.
