RETEC-X: Redefining Waste
Next-gen system: Safely shrinking all organics by up to 1/300
What's RETEC-X
Turning waste into value: An integrated platform for ESG, DX & BCP.
RETEC-X uses unique low-temp pyrolysis to shrink waste by up to 1/300 without harmful emissions. Built with automotive-grade precision, this zero-discharge plant integrates DX remote monitoring and BCP power generation.
Beyond simple incineration, it is a next-gen solution that transforms waste into a strategic foundation for ESG and economic value.
RETEC-X uses its internal heat source to process organics without fuel, shrinking waste by up to 1/300 into “ceramic powder” through pyrolysis.
About Low-Temp Pyrolysis
Unlike combustion, which relies on oxygen to burn, low-temp pyrolysis breaks down molecules by heating them in an oxygen-free (or restricted) environment. While burning risks gas and dioxin emissions, pyrolysis prevents harmful substances by avoiding open flames. Instead of simple incineration, it recovers waste as reusable resources like char, oil, and gas.
Waste Processable by Pyrolysis

Food Waste
Sludge
Because a pyrolysis system is not an incinerator,
there is no need for environmental assessments or installation permits.
- Low operating costs (Electricity: approx. 13,000 JPY/month)
- No environmental assessment or filings needed.
(Ideal for incinerator replacement) - High durability & continuous operation via low-temp processing.
- High volume reduction (1/100–1/300): Drastically cuts waste costs.
By adopting RETEC-X, you contribute to global environmental protection,
reducing greenhouse gases and promoting resource recycling through
the effective use of organic matter.

FEATURE
RETEC-X is an on-site waste reduction system using low-temperature pyrolysis instead of incineration. By eliminating the need for off-site transport, it simultaneously slashes disposal and logistics costs while curbing GHG emissions. Unlike traditional incinerators, its unique mechanism ensures low entry barriers and a rapid start to operations. RETEC-X turns waste into an opportunity for improved management and environmental value, rather than a burden.

USE CASES
Industrial Waste Treatment Facilities (Waste Plastics, Metal Recovery, End-of-Life Vehicle Dismantling)
Much industrial waste contains large amounts of plastic and rubber, which release harmful exhaust gases (such as dioxins) during low-temperature incineration. While clean waste plastic can be recycled, plastic contaminated with organic matter—such as bags containing food scraps, soups, or sauces—is unsuitable for recycling.
Furthermore, conventional recycling requires washing and drying processes, which incur extra costs. In contrast, a pyrolysis system decomposes organic matter without combustion, using a reactor (exhaust gas treatment system) to ensure emissions remain well below environmental standards.
For recovering copper from electrical wires and harnesses, the outer plastic insulation must typically be removed. By using pyrolysis on fine copper wires or circuit boards, it is possible to recover only the metal. Since the maximum pyrolysis temperature is approximately 350°C, the metals will not melt.
Hospitals and Nursing Care Facilities
A large portion of the waste generated by hospitals and nursing care facilities contains infectious materials. Furthermore, recent pandemic measures have led to a massive influx of non-reusable items such as masks, gloves, and protective suits.
In the past, much of this waste was incinerated on-site. However, due to environmental concerns and consideration for local residents, most facilities now outsource disposal to waste management companies at a significant cost.
With medical waste volumes rising annually, disposal expenses are increasingly straining medical budgets. In particular, the surge in used disposable diapers has led to a substantial spike in outsourcing fees, becoming a major headache for facility management.
Food Processing Plants
In food processing plants, sludge generated during the production process mixes with wastewater. This sludge is separated and then disposed of by waste management contractors at a high cost.
As the production of processed foods increases every year, the volume of sludge generated is also on a steady rise. Since food sludge is rich in organic matter, it is highly suitable for processing with a pyrolysis system.
However, when using the RETEC-X for treatment, the moisture content must be reduced to 40% or less. For sludge exceeding this level, it can still be processed by mixing it with low-moisture waste (such as cardboard or paper) to bring the average moisture content of the input down to 40% or below. Dry sludge, on the other hand, can be fed directly into the system for immediate processing.
FAQ
Are there items that cannot be processed?
Metals, glass, ceramics, stone, concrete, and batteries cannot be processed via pyrolysis and must not be loaded into the system. Additionally, materials with extremely high moisture content require prior adjustments to processing conditions.
Are operating costs (electricity, etc.) high?
Except during startup, the system is highly economical because it utilizes “self-sustaining operation.” During normal processing, it maintains the decomposition process using the heat generated from the gases released as the waste breaks down.
Are special qualifications or expert skills required for operation?
No special skills are required. The system is equipped with a high-precision automatic control system—adapted from automotive engine control technology—that handles everything from processing to ash discharge at the touch of a button. Even those without specialized knowledge can operate it safely and easily.
Is there any concern about odor, smoke, or noise near residential areas?
Yes, you can rest assured. By designing the interior of the furnace to constantly maintain negative pressure (suction), we structurally prevent the leakage of odors and smoke. Furthermore, the triple-shielded intake structure keeps the risk of dust emission to an absolute minimum.
What is the support and warranty system in case of failure?
A one-year free repair warranty is included, starting from the completion of installation and inspection. For the second year and beyond, we offer a maintenance contract plan that includes semi-annual periodic inspections and free repair services, ensuring a system where you can operate the equipment with peace of mind over the long term.
