Ecofario’s High-G separation technology enables paper mills to recover valuable fibres from wastewater, reducing waste and boosting circular economy goals.
The paper industry has long faced a dual challenge: balancing resource efficiency with sustainability demands. Every year, vast amounts of valuable fibres are lost in reject streams, representing not only a financial loss but also an environmental burden. Ecofario, a German cleantech company, has developed a solution that addresses both issues by turning rejects into a source of recovery.
At the core of Ecofario’s approach is its High-G-Technology, a filterless hydrocyclone-based system capable of removing a hughe range of impurities—including stickies, wax and microplastics—from fber suspensions and process water. Unlike conventional filtration systems, Ecofario’s method operates very robust in a wider field of operation, while reducing maintenance needs and lowering operating costs.
For paper mills, this means the ability to recover fibres from fine rejects that would otherwise be discarded, redirecting them back into the production cycle. The result is twofold: increased raw material efficiency and improved circular economy performance. By maximizing fibre utilization, mills not only cut costs but also strengthen their sustainability profile—an increasingly important factor for both regulators and customers.
Beyond fibre recovery, the technology helps address growing concerns around microplastic emissions. As global regulations tighten, the industry faces pressure to mitigate pollutants released into water systems. Ecofario’s High-G technology achieves single-pass removal efficiencies above 90%, offering a future-proof solution that combines environmental compliance with economic benefits.
“Fiber rejects and wastewater shouldn’t be seen as waste—it’s a resource waiting to be tapped,” says Dr.-Ing. Sebastian Porkert, Founder and CEO of Ecofario. “Our mission is to help industries close loops, save resources, and meet sustainability goals without compromising efficiency.”
As the global paper sector continues its transition toward greener practices, solutions that bridge cost savings with ecological responsibility are set to play a decisive role. With Ecofario’s technology, what was once a costly by-product becomes a valuable input—bringing circular economy one step closer to reality.
