UK law requires fire extinguishers to be disposed of and replaced every three years. All materials from an expired fire extinguisher are recycled; (i.e., metal cylinders, plastic and rubber hoses, etc.) except for the expired fire extinguisher powder (EFEP). In the UK, 10,000ton of EFEP is land-filled each year at high environmental and increasing economic cost, or worse illegally dumped.EFEP cannot be reused, as it fails to satisfy the required legal fire-safety and performance criteria.PhosCycle provides a comprehensive solution at scale to the chemical EFEP waste stream problem, which is currently occupying landfills.Through its proprietary process, PhosCycle converts the EFEP waste stream to industrial phosphate-based value streams, thereby:1.Negating the detrimental environmental effects of land-filling2.Reducing the associated disposal costs for our suppliers3.Minimizing the incentive for illegal disposal,4.Providing our customers with a sustainable (zero-carbon) alternative to conventional phosphate-based products,PhosCycle's innovative technology recovers the valuable components from this waste product so that it can be upcycled back into commercial industries at scale (e.g., agricultural fertilisers).With an already operational Pilot Plant and IP certified, PhosCycle now plan to complete the final r&d phase to reach commercial scale by 2025\.This project will accelerate development from TRL6 to TRL8/9, to enable commercialisation, post project.Our project aims to make the UK the innovation centre for the recycling of fire extinguisher powder: A global waste stream problem with the innovative solution and successful industrial operation in the UK.PhosCycle's vision is to recycle up to 60% annually of the UK EFEP waste stream market within 12months of full-scale plant operation on behalf of the UK companies in our value chain.PhosCycle has a thorough project plan including risk assessment and a carefully-considered budget, to address the challenge for the target-markets and deliver wide-ranging socio-economic benefits.

英国法律规定，灭火器必须每三年更换一次。所有来自过期灭火器的材料都被回收;（即，金属圆筒、塑料和橡胶软管等）除了过期的灭火器粉末（EFEP）。在英国，每年有10，000吨EFEP被填埋，环境成本和经济成本不断增加，或者更糟的是非法倾倒。EFEP不能重复使用，因为它不能满足所需的法律的消防安全和性能标准。PhosCycle为目前占用垃圾填埋场的化学EFEP废物流问题提供了全面的解决方案。通过其专有工艺，PhosCycle将EFEP废物流转化为基于工业磷酸盐的价值流，从而：1.消除填埋对环境的不利影响2.降低制造商的相关处置成本3.最大限度地减少非法处置的激励，4.为我们的客户提供传统磷酸盐产品的可持续（零碳）替代品，PhosCycle的创新技术从这种废物中回收有价值的成分，以便它可以大规模地回收到商业行业（例如，PhosCycle目前计划在2025年前完成最后的研发阶段，以达到商业规模。该项目将加速从TRL 6到TRL 8/9的发展，以实现项目后的商业化。我们的项目旨在使英国成为灭火器粉末回收的创新中心：一个全球性的废物流问题与创新的解决方案和成功的工业运作在英国。PhosCycle的愿景是回收高达60%，每年英国EFEP废物流市场在12个月内完全-代表我们价值链中的英国公司进行规模化工厂运营。PhosCycle有一个全面的项目计划，包括风险评估和经过仔细考虑的预算，应对目标市场的挑战，并带来广泛的社会经济效益。
