Welcome to ZaaK Technologies
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 from mineral wastes and by-products. ZaaK’s upcycling technologies transform unused wastes and by-products into sustainable lightweight sand, called Lypors®. It is an ideal secondary raw material as a substitute to natural sand for use in the construction 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.
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
From wastes to Lypors®
As a Greentech company and a pioneer in upcycling, ZaaK envisions the establishment of a new standard for secondary raw materials on the global market.
As a Greentech company and a pioneer in upcycling, ZaaK envisions the establishment of a new standard for secondary raw materials on the global market. Lypors® is made from upcycling mineral by-products and wastes such as fly ash, pond ash, deposited ash, biomass, waste to energy ashes as well as bauxite residue and/or the combination of these streams and can be used in various applications.
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.
Irrespective of the source of the mineral input streams the final product, Lypors®, meets lightweight fine aggregates specifications in accordance with EN 13055:2016 and passes environmental compliances in accordance with CEN/TS 16637-2/3.
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.
Lypors® technology offers a very meaningful step to achieve twin objectives:
a) upcycling mineral wastes and by-products into a value-added construction sand and
b) minimizing consumption of sand, a finite natural resource
Lypors® is addressing the Sustainable Development Goals defined by the United nations regarding sustainable cities and communities as well as responsible consumption and production.
Lypors® Life Cycle.
Lypors® Life Cycle.
Lypors® is made from upcycling mineral by-products and wastes such as fly ash, pond ash, deposited ash, bauxite residue and/or the combination of these streams and can be used in various applications and can be recycled several times.
Production.
Lypors® are produced mainly from by-products and wastes. It is available in different size, shape, strength and porosity for different downstream applications.
Up to 95%
of the raw material constituents are mineral by-products or wastes

Construction.
Lypors® based lightweight concrete, masonry mortars, plaster and roof tiles achieves high speed of construction minimising labour costs and raw materials wastages.
Up to 32%
Concrete and reinforcement savings
Concrete and reinforcement savings
Transportation.
Transportation cost is directly related to weight. Being up to 55% lighter than natural sand, transportation is economical and leaves a smaller carbon foot print. Increased loading capacity for trucks means fewer trucks on the road and in the cities and country sides.
Up to 25%
fuel savings in transporting Lypors
