Technical Overview

AUR.BOROS
process

From the textile fraction the recycling chain cannot absorb — to two certified industrial outputs. A closed-loop thermochemical process designed for continuous industrial operation.

01
Phase One
Feedstock Acceptance
Mixed textile waste. No sorting. No quality threshold. Post-consumer and post-industrial fractions accepted as-is.
02
Phase Two
Thermochemical Conversion
Continuous pyrolysis in an oxygen-controlled environment. Polymer chains break down into recoverable carbon and gas fractions.
03
Phase Three
Output Valorisation
Grade A powdered activated carbon and food-grade liquid CO₂. Two certified industrial products from one waste stream.
Mixed Input Stream
Post-consumer clothing
Synthetic blends
Contaminated fractions
Polyester / Nylon / Acrylic
Industrial cutting waste
Multi-material composites
Moisture up to 18%
Post-industrial residues
Phase 01 — Feedstock

We accept what
the chain
rejects.

Every recycling system has a residual fraction — the material that cannot be sorted into clean fibre streams, that is too contaminated for mechanical processing, that sits in warehouses accumulating storage costs with no viable destination.

AURBOROS was designed around this fraction. 100% of our input volume is material that would otherwise be incinerated or landfilled. No pre-sorting is required. No minimum quality threshold. We accept the full contaminated mixed stream.

This is not a compromise — it is the core of our process design. Our thermochemical conversion is feedstock-agnostic within the textile waste category, handling natural fibres, synthetics, blended compositions, and contaminated fractions within the same continuous operation.

Phase 02 — Conversion

Thermochemical
conversion at
industrial scale.

The AURBOROS OS reactor operates through continuous pyrolysis — thermochemical decomposition in a controlled, oxygen-limited environment. At operating temperatures between 500°C and 550°C, the complex polymer chains that make up synthetic textile fibres break down into recoverable carbon fractions and gas streams.

Unlike batch pyrolysis systems, our reactor operates as a continuous-flow industrial process — material enters, products exit, without interruption. Our 72-hour stress test validated this at industrial scale: 95.8% uptime across a continuous 86,250 kg processing run.

Output 01
Powdered Activated Carbon
Grade A PAC
Powdered Activated Carbon — Industrial Water Treatment Grade

Powdered activated carbon produced from our pyrolysis process achieves Grade A classification — the benchmark for industrial water treatment applications including municipal wastewater, industrial effluent processing, and chemical purification. Our 72-hour stress test produced zero off-spec batches throughout.

Iodine Number 675 mg/g — Grade A
Classification Industrial Water Treatment
Current Import Origin Asia (European dependency)
Consistency Zero off-spec batches (72h test)
Offtake Water utilities, industrial processors

Food-Grade CO₂
Liquid Carbon Dioxide — Food & Beverage Grade

The gas fraction recovered from our pyrolysis process is captured, purified, and liquefied to food-grade specification. At 99.98% purity, it meets the standard required for beverage carbonation, food preservation, and food processing applications — a market currently served almost entirely by fossil-derived CO₂.

Purity 99.98% — Food Grade
Classification Food & Beverage / Industrial
Form Liquefied, pressurised
Carbon Origin Biogenic (textile fibre)
Offtake Beverage, food processing, industrial gas
