Food waste is the main feedstock for TripleW’s bioprocess which starts with separating and grinding the organics into a pumpable slurry.

The surface of deformed steel bars has ribs, lugs, and other deformations that strengthen the binding strength between steel and concrete.

These rebars are often made of manganese, which makes them easily flexible. European rebars are not suited for use in locations prone to extreme weather and natural disasters like tornadoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes.

To close the loop of material upcycling TripleW technology can convert both food waste, and PLA-based packaging waste back into Circulac.

Carbon steel wires are placed at 90 degree angles and welded at all intersections to create this type of rebar. The design will resemble a square grid or mesh. WWF is perfect for well-compacted floor slabs, sidewalks, highways, culverts, small canals, runway pavements, and concrete pads.

Fiberglass rebars are also known as fiberglass-reinforced polymer rebars. Carbon fiber is commonly used. GFRP has a number of benefits, including:

Since 2016, TripleW has committed to addressing the environmental and financial challenges of waste management, through the development of superior circular solutions. Bioplastics, being both renewable and highly in-demand, are the perfect vehicle for creating value from food waste and closing the loop.

Rebar is a type of reinforcing bar that is used to strengthen the tensile strength of concrete and is generally composed of steel. As we all know, concrete is reasonably strong in compression but extremely weak in tension. The overall performance of concrete structures under loaded situations is improved by adding reinforcement. In this article, we’ll go through the many types of rebar that are used in steel reinforcement.

These types of rebar are some of the best types of rebar for applications requiring strong corrosion resistance or where restoration is difficult and expensive. However, epoxy-coated rebar is at least eight times more expensive. Stainless steel rebars provide a number of benefits.

The surface of the mild steel bars is plain and circular in shape. They come in different sizes, ranging from 6 mm to 50 mm. They are used in concrete for a variety of functions, including dowels at expansion joints where bars must move in a metal or paper sleeve, contraction joints in highways and runways, and column spirals. They are easy to cut and bend without causing damage. Mild steel bar is not suggested for structural constructions such as bridges and other large structures owing to poor bonding between concrete and steel, slippage, and strength. Steel that exceeds the minimum ultimate tensile strength of 550 n/mm2 and 10000 N/mm2 is classified as medium-tensile steel or high-tensile steel.

Due to its carbon color, this is the most popular variety of carbon steel rebar, also known as a black bar. One notable disadvantage is that it corrodes quickly, making it unsuitable for use in high-humidity environments or constructions that are constantly exposed to water. Carbon steel rebars, on the other hand, are an excellent choice for all other sorts of constructions.

To strengthen the concrete and prevent it from corrosion, epoxy-coated rebar or corrosion-resistant rebar is used instead of traditional reinforcing bars. To ensure corrosion resistance, the epoxy coating is added to the steel at a factory prior to shipping. Corrosive concrete can benefit from the use of epoxy-coated steel reinforcing bars (rebar). Exposure to deicing salts or seawater is one example. This bar is suitable for usage in maritime construction, bridge infrastructure, buildings, and roads, etc.

TMT is a sophisticated technique that involves quenching red-hot rebars with a sequence of water jets, resulting in a hardened outer layer surface enclosing a softer core. The TMT bar is the most recent innovation in the steel industry. These types of rebar are commonly used as reinforcement in the construction of buildings, roads, bridges, and other construction projects.

In a groundbreaking shift towards sustainable solutions, we're excited to introduce Circulac- a revolutionary organic waste-derived lactic acid, poised to redefine how we use materials and combat climate change.

Cold twisted bars (CTD) are high-strength deformed bars (HSD) whose quality is enhanced by different cold working procedures (stretching and twisting). CTD bars have a yield stress that is 50% higher than conventional mild steel bars. These rebars come in diameters ranging from 4mm to 50mm. This type of rebar generates higher operating stresses while utilizing less steel. Due to cold twisting, there is surface stress and visible fissures, which results in decreased ductility, increased corrosion rate, and a drop in elongation percent of 24 to 13 percent. Buildings, highways, bridges, water-retaining structures, precast concrete, and other concrete constructions frequently use these bars as reinforcement.

A protective covering of zinc metal is applied to this rebar. The corrosion resistance of galvanized rebars is 40 times that of carbon steel rebars. They are, nevertheless, more expensive than black bars. These bars are ideal for construction that will be exposed to heavy levels of moisture and humidity.

TripleW's CIRCULAC™: highly pure lactic acid and lactate salts produced by fermentation of food waste, made entirely from renewable carbon.Implementing CIRCULAC™ yields a major reduction of carbon emissions from the manufacture of products in home care, personal care, food and beverage, and industrial applications, as well as from the production of PLA bioplastics. TripleW’s lactic acid will significantly contribute to climate change mitigation by displacing fossil-based materials with a circular alternative.

Circulac can used as the building block to produce the biopolymer PLA (poly lactic acid) a biobased alternative to fossil-fuel plastics.

Mild steel is divided into two grades: Grade I and Grade II. The mechanical characteristics of mild steel bars are as follows:

We're thrilled to announce that CIRCLE, a Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) consortium led by TripleW, has been awarded a whopping EUR 17M to scale up our groundbreaking technology to produce Circulac, upcycled lactic acid, lactic acid derivatives, and PLA—all made entirely from food waste! 🍽️🔄

Food waste is the main feedstock for TripleW’s bioprocess which starts with separating and grinding the organics into a pumpable slurry.

Tensile, yield, and bond strength are all high in deformed bars. Hooks are not required at the ends of deformed bars since their bond strength is higher than that of regular mild steel bars.
