We redesign the traditional processes to transform waste into raw material

The Flexofibers venture was born in 2017 and is the result of more than 20 years of experience in the construction and tire recycling fields.

As a result of observing and analyzing, we noticed that the contaminated steel fiber of the tire recycling seemed to have characteristics similar to the fiber available on the market for concrete reinforcement and we decided to investigate the feasibility of reusing these fibers. We found that different universities had done studies in this regard but that no one had found a way to clean, condition and classify them through an industrialized process.

Innovation is our DNA

After much research, different possible solutions for conditioning of the waste were found and a 1:25 scale prototype was carried out to verify the possibility of industrializing this process. The results of this prototype was then validated by the Eduardo Torrojas construction institute, whose studies show that the fibers met the norms and requirements of the sector, giving their technical and professional support to this project.

With growth and sustainability as the main goal

Two years of design, improvements, and investments have been necessary to achieve the industrialization process, the construction of a 1: 1 scale prototype plant and the commercialization of the product.  

Nowadays, the opportunity of contributing to the circular economy is what unite us as a main value, achieving the removal of waste material from the environment and converting into a product with added value that is reintroduced into society to offer builders an affordable option, of high-quality and with minimal impact in carbon footprints.
