AES Autonome Energiesysteme GmbH: Innovative in Plastic Recycling and Sustainable Energy Generation
editKey Products and Services
editAES Autonome Energiesysteme GmbH is a technology company that specializes in the development and implementation of innovative solutions for the recycling of mixed plastic waste. The company offers on-site recycling plants that convert up to 1,000 kg of plastic waste per day into valuable pyrolysis oil. These plants, known as AES FLUKS, are modular in design and can be expanded as needed to process up to 5 tons of waste per day[3,.
Main Mission and Values
editThe main mission of AES is to convert unused plastic resources into valuable products, thereby making an active contribution to closing the loop and conserving natural resources. The company is committed to sustainable value creation and works closely with industries to transform their plastic waste into environmentally friendly resources[1].
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editAES is dedicated to improving the ecological footprint of its customers while simultaneously reducing their costs. By using pyrolysis technology, the plants reduce CO2 emissions by up to 75% compared to conventional thermal recovery. Furthermore, the plants help minimize disposal costs by reducing waste bins to a minimum[3][5].
The company continuously researches new ways to chemically recycle even difficult plastics such as PVC and PA, for which no satisfactory recycling options currently exist. These research activities have already received government funding and contribute to the advancement of sustainable technologies[1].
Additional Initiatives and Partnerships
editAES is involved in various initiatives and partnerships to promote sustainability. The company is part of ImpactFestival23, an event that brings together innovative startups shaping a sustainable future. AES also collaborates with other companies and institutions such as digitalHUB Aachen e.V. and the Institute for Textile Technology Aachen to strengthen the circular economy[5].
Service and Operations
editThe AES FLUKS plants are characterized by fully automated plant control and a predictive maintenance system that ensure smooth operation. The company offers a 24/7 maintenance service that minimizes downtime and repair costs. Remote maintenance and monitoring of the plants are possible through mobile access, increasing the efficiency and reliability of operations[3].
