In the early nineties three friends came together through a shared dream. They wanted to create a process in which it was possible to seperate household, commercial and hospitalar waste into their original raw materials. These raw materials needed to appear through this process, cleaned and directly usable. An almost impossible case, almost a dream.

But by using their technical knowledge and experience, persistence and common sense, they achieved in creating this unique process. This process, called 3R Equicycling, transformes household, commercial and hospitalar waste into raw materials through a closed system, without pre-sorting. The 3R process was patented worldwide in 2000 and in the years following they perfected their process, made pilots and tested those extensively.

In the beginning of 2008 they wanted the 3R process to be tested independently by the well-known German based engineering organisation EPC (www.epc-online.de). EPC put the 3R process to the test and they concluded that the process lived up to its high expectations. By using the 3R Equicycling process, 97% of all waste could be transformed into raw materials of refined quality. Depending on the type of waste put into the 3R process, an estimated return on investment of about 35% will be generated.

With the 3R Equicycling process tested and running, the three friends started the organisation International Pure Propulsion, located in Stadskanaal (The Netherlands), with the goal of promoting the 3R Equicycling process and making the dream into reality by realising the first 3R Plant.
