New Sorting Line Required To Produce Feedstock For Advanced Plastic Recycling

STAMFORD, Conn. and LONDON and GHENT, Belgium, July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Renewi and Freepoint Eco-Systems International Ltd. (Freepoint Eco-Systems) announce their intention to enter into a long-term and strategic cooperation to produce feedstock for the advanced recycling of waste plastics. This collaboration aims to divert end-of-life plastics from incineration by developing the sorting and treatment infrastructure. The goal is to supply 80,000 tonnes of feedstock for Freepoint Eco-Systems’ first European advanced recycling facility to be located at the Kluizendok site in Ghent, Belgium. By joining forces, these two industry leaders in waste management and recycling are addressing both the growing demand for sustainable solutions for end-of-life plastics and the use of pyrolysis oil to create recycled products.

A pioneering collaboration between the chemical and waste industries

Earlier this year, Freepoint announced the development of its flagship advanced plastics recycling facility in Ghent. In the coming months, Renewi and Freepoint Eco-Systems will work together to establish the pre-processing infrastructure, which will allow for the supply of 80,000 tonnes of feedstock for that plant. Pyrolysis in advanced recycling is a thermal decomposition process in which existing plastic materials are heated without oxygen to break them down into smaller molecules for use as raw material. Freepoint Eco-Systems’ advanced recycling facility will make it possible to recycle complex, mixed plastics that are difficult to process in any other way, making this facility a perfect complement to mechanical recycling.

The collaboration between Renewi and Freepoint Eco-Systems represents a significant step in the waste treatment chain and a major development in Europe’s circular economy. This partnership will bridge the current gap between waste and products and aligns with the ecological commitments (Green Deal) and emerging obligations for recycled content in new products.

By diverting end-of-life plastics that would otherwise be incinerated, this advanced recycling project is expected to enable a significant reduction in CO2 emissions, as well as a reduced need for fossil resources to produce new products. It will bring value to the local and global circular economies, from upstream waste material extraction to downstream end products.

A new sorting line to come

Freepoint Eco-Systems and Renewi are exploring the development and co-investment of a new sorting facility that will be essential for producing the 80,000 tonnes of feedstock needed for the advanced recycling plant. Renewi will leverage its accumulated expertise with its state-of-the-art residual waste sorting line, which has been operational for over a year and has already demonstrated the ability to produce high-quality feedstock for advanced recycling.

This new sorting line will utilize various innovative sorting techniques, including the utilization of residual heat from the advanced recycling plant. This process will transform different end-of-life plastic sources into a consistent and high-quality feedstock, reintegrating them into the circular economy.

“We are very pleased to embark on this first step with Freepoint Eco-Systems in the development of their first advanced plastic recycling facility. This collaboration fits perfectly with our strategy as a waste-to-product company and represents a significant milestone in our commitment to a circular economy and sustainable solutions. By combining our expertise in the waste and chemical sectors, we aim to address the growing need for innovative processes in the treatment of end-of-life plastics,” stated Mark Thys, Chief Operating Officer of Commercial Waste for Renewi.

“This project is a clear example that only through cross-industrial collaboration can the plastic waste crisis be tackled,” said Jacco de Haas, Freepoint Eco-Systems’ Chief Commercial Officer, Recycling Europe.  “The waste streams which now end up in incineration, combined with the expertise of Renewi and the new sorting line, will increase the total plastic recycling rates and will be fully complementary to mechanical recycling.”

Driving Certainty Through Uncertainty: eclicktech’s Engineering Approach to Agentic AI

Published

on

By

XI’AN, China, May 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As generative AI moves from experimentation to enterprise deployment, the industry focus is shifting from model capability to operational reliability. The challenge is no longer simply building smarter AI, but ensuring AI systems can operate safely and consistently inside complex production environments.

eclicktech recently shared its internal engineering practices around Agentic AI, highlighting how the company is applying context engineering, multi-cloud infrastructure, and layered security frameworks to support enterprise-scale AI deployment.

To support global operations across more than 230 countries and regions, eclicktech built its Cycor platform around a multi-cloud architecture integrating AWS, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Huawei Cloud, and other providers. According to the company, this approach improves infrastructure flexibility, reduces vendor lock-in risk, and enables more efficient orchestration of large-scale Kubernetes clusters and AI workloads.

eclicktech stated that one of the key lessons from early Agent development was that prompt engineering alone was insufficient for enterprise deployment. The company therefore shifted toward context engineering — an approach focused on delivering the right information, at the right time, while optimizing limited token resources.

Its engineering framework includes six layers of context management covering active sessions, short-term memory, long-term semantic storage, knowledge graphs, operational experience, and reusable organizational skills. The system also supports proactive context injection, allowing relevant operational history and risk information to be surfaced automatically before sensitive actions are executed.

To improve inference efficiency, eclicktech introduced layered token governance and progressive tool-loading mechanisms, dynamically loading tools and information only when required. The company said this approach helped improve tool selection accuracy and reduce unnecessary token consumption during complex operational workflows.

Security remains a core requirement throughout the architecture. eclicktech’s governance framework includes namespace isolation, dry-run verification, human approval workflows, rule-based validation, and rollback mechanisms designed to reduce operational risks associated with AI-driven automation.

According to eclicktech, the next stage of enterprise AI competition will depend not only on model capability, but also on engineering reliability, infrastructure orchestration, context management, and organizational knowledge systems.

On the technical side, zMaticoo optimized SDK infrastructure to improve fill stability under weak network conditions. Ad loading time was reduced from five seconds to under two seconds through a rebuilt loading architecture. Progressive asset loading further minimized timeout-related drop-offs. AI-powered ad templates dynamically generated personalized creatives, improving both CTR and conversion performance.

The zMaticoo team also provides one-stop operational and analytics support. Developers can monitor fill rate, impressions, eCPM, and revenue through a unified dashboard, while dedicated optimization specialists provide 7×12 support for A/B testing, strategy iteration, and scaling guidance. The platform is deeply integrated with major mediation solutions, enabling one-time integration and multi-scenario deployment while reducing development and maintenance costs.

According to zMaticoo platform data:

In mature markets including the United States, Germany, Japan, and South Korea, banner eCPMs increased by 5%–10%, while interstitial premiums improved by over 5%;In emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico, and Southeast Asia, interstitial eCPMs increased by more than 10%.

The monetization framework has demonstrated effectiveness across hyper-casual, puzzle, board/card, and utility app categories, supporting both rapid scale-up and long-term monetization stability.

Partner feedback includes:

“We are highly satisfied with the revenue uplift after integration. Our core products’ banner performance now ranks among the top tier.””Revenue recovered significantly after A/B testing, and we are expanding testing across more products.””One solution now supports multiple global markets without requiring separate monetization strategies for each region.””Interstitial monetization performance has been especially strong, with SOV reaching 10%–20% for several partners.”

zMaticoo believes successful monetization today is not about stacking more ad platforms, but about leveraging AI, technology, and refined operations to unlock long-term traffic value. Whether for hyper-casual publishers, puzzle game studios, or global mobile app companies, this AI-powered monetization framework is designed to deliver sustainable revenue growth while preserving user experience.
