Knowaste, a company specialized in diaper recycling technology, is about to sign a contract with a leading U.K.-based distributor of pet litter to receive fiber generated from the absorbent hygiene product recycling process. Under the terms of the agreement, Knowaste will provide 20,000 tons of fiber per annum to the pet litter distributor. Half of this will be supplied from Knowaste’s London plant while the other half will be taken from its second plant when built.
 
The fiber output will be used to manufacture high quality pet litter thanks to the absorbent nature of the products that Knowaste recycles. The products themselves will be distributed throughout the U.K. and Europe.
 
The U.K. alone consumes 260,000 tons of pet litter annually along with an even greater number from across Europe. The industry is growing rapidly and the U.K. market, now worth up to £120 million, calling for a greater need to use recycled fibers in their production.
 
The fibre output, which is the product of Knowaste’s patented formula and process, are washed, dried and processed for use in pet litter. They can also be utilized as concrete and tarmac additive, brick manufacture and insulation materials. All of AHP products can be recycled with the remaining solids and liquids sent to the sewer for treatment.
