METOL – Infinite applications, endless possibilities.

METOL was born out of a need to address one of the most pressing global challenges: how to create advanced composite structures that not only deliver exceptional performance but are also fully recyclable.

METOL is a revolutionary leap forward in high-performance composite materials. This thermoplastic polymer is 100% recyclable, allowing it to be reused endlessly without losing its value or mechanical integrity. Our unique formulation is engineered to be commercially viable while setting new standards for what’s possible. In a world where efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness are paramount, METOL stands as a beacon of disruptive innovation, poised to redefine the way industries manufacture, and recycle composite structures.

From wind turbine blades to high-pressure pipes and automotive components, METOL is designed to excel in the most demanding environments. Its low melt viscosity ensures superior fibre saturation, resulting in stronger, more uniform composites that can handle even the toughest applications.

With its endless recyclability and wide range of applications, METOL is poised to lead the charge towards a greener, more sustainable future. It doesn’t just perform – it outperforms, maintaining its value from one application to the next – and all the time, making the planet a cleaner place for generations to come.

Millennium Technologies is a leading company in the field of advanced environmental solutions, specializing in plasma gasification technology. The company focuses on providing innovative and sustainable solutions for waste disposal, recycling, and resource recovery. By leveraging plasma arc technology, Millennium Technologies transforms waste materials, including hazardous and non-recyclable items, into valuable byproducts such as synthetic gas, and other useful compounds.

Key Technologies and Services:

• Plasma Gasification: Using plasma arcs at high temperatures to break down complex waste materials, including industrial waste, municipal solid waste, and composite materials such as wind turbine blades, into cleaner, recyclable components.
• Waste-to-Energy Solutions: The process generates synthetic gas (syngas) that can be used for electricity generation or as an energy source for industrial processes.
• Recycling of Non-Recyclable Waste: The company addresses the challenge of recycling hard-to-process materials, such as plastics, electronic waste, and composite materials from wind turbines, by converting them into reusable resources.
• Carbon Footprint Reduction: Millennium Technologies is committed to reducing the environmental impact of waste disposal by offering a cleaner, more efficient alternative to traditional waste management methods.

At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:

• A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
• A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
• A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
• The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
• ACI’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions

Of course, if there is anybody you are unable to meet over the two days, ACI’s event team will do their best to initiate contact after the event.

If you would like to be considered as a speaker for the event with a 30-45 minute presentation, please submit an abstract for consideration to:
