Unclaimed brand
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.

Alkyl Recycling B.V. is a sustainable chemistry company based at Brightlands Chemelot Campus in Geleen, Netherlands. It is developing a lower-energy process to recycle used diapers and other absorbent hygiene products, addressing waste that commonly goes to landfill or incineration. The company’s approach uses chemical techniques rather than relying on energy-intensive heat processes, aiming to reduce energy use and toxic emissions while preserving the structure of valuable materials.
Alkyl Recycling’s technology is designed to separate used products into components such as plastic, wood pulp and superabsorbent polymer, which can then be reused as raw materials in new products. Its goal is to make recycling complex hygiene waste scalable and suitable for circular applications. The company plans to provide technology that can integrate with existing waste-management infrastructure and expand recycling capacity. Alkyl says its work is supported by research and development grants and LIOF Early Phase Financing. It invites waste-management companies and other potential partners to connect and follow its progress toward a more sustainable approach to managing absorbent hygiene product waste.
