UPCYCLING MINERAL BY-PRODUCTS & WASTES THROUGH INNOVATION
WE HAVE ‘REACHED THE LIMITS’ OF THE PLANET’S NATURAL RESOURCES
Unsustainable use of natural resources is having a severe impact on our environment. With the megatrend of urbanization and the increasing number of people living in cities, it is expected that natural resources such as sand and aggregates will continue to be depleted without replenishment.
ZaaK has been researching and developing innovative technologies to upcycle mineral wastes and by-products into value-added products for sustainable management of our natural resources. Our commitment is to give new life to these unused by-products or waste materials.
With its proprietary technologies, ZaaK offers a single-step solution to the environmental impacts of mineral wastes and by-products. ZaaK’s upcycling technologies transform unused wastes and by-products into sustainable lightweight sand, called Lypors®. This is an ideal secondary raw material that acts as a substitute for natural sand and can be used in the construction sector and other industries.
Lypors® Technology
Upcycling instead of only recycling or disposal.
A progressive solution to the age-old problem of wastes and by-products.
The challenges faced by producers of mineral wastes and by-products require viable and forward-looking solutions. To safeguard our socio-economic future, technologies that promote the achievement of sustainable development goals and veer towards circular economy are greatly needed.
By upcycling these wastes and by-products into high performance building materials ZaaK is providing a progressive solution to drastically reduce disposal problems, and pushing the waste-producing industries like thermal power, alumina and waste-to-energy plants towards a zero-waste scenario and greener cities.
ZaaK’s processes ensure these wastes and by-products can be effectively utilized instead of being disposed or deposited. At the same time, it offers an ecological secondary raw material to the construction industry.

Input Streams
Solutions for a wide range of mineral streams.
Irrespective of the input streams, the final Lypors® material conforms to…
Coal combustion ash
Lypors® technology is extremely versatile and can handle any types of coal combustion products whether they are freshly produced or deposited, hard coal ash, brown coal ash or a mixture of both ashes.
Biomass-coal co-combustion ashes
Lypors® technology is versatile and handles biomass-coal co- combustion products whether they are freshly produced or deposited.
Waste-to-energy ash
ZaaK is one of the first companies which started to develop a solution for incineration ashes, also known as waste-to-energy ash, which to a large part until now have been deposited underground.
Bauxite residue
Lypors® technology is extremely flexible and can handle different types of bauxite residue streams whether they are freshly produced or deposited.
Sustainability
Lypors® is a prime example of sustainability.
…whether it is production, transportation, construction, building, living or reuse.
Lypors® is a prime example of sustainability demonstrated throughout its entire life cycle from its production, transportation, use in construction, service life or reuse.
Production
Up to 95%
of the raw material constituents are mineral by-products or wastes
Construction
Up to 32%
Concrete and reinforcement savings
Transportation
