ecopals

ecopals, officially known as EcoPals GmbH, is a Berlin-based ClimateTech and Cleantech startup founded in 2021.

The company focuses on transforming non-recyclable plastic waste into sustainable materials for the road construction industry. By developing high-performance asphalt additives called EcoFlakes, ecopals aims to reduce plastic pollution and the carbon footprint of infrastructure projects. The company specializes in polymer modification solutions that enhance the durability and performance of asphalt. Their innovative approach integrates waste streams from recycling industries, promoting a circular economy. By replacing virgin materials and a portion of bitumen with recycled plastic, ecopals helps clients lower their carbon emissions by up to 30% and reduce costs associated with asphalt production. With a commitment to sustainability, ecopals collaborates with scientific institutions to ensure their products meet industry standards. The company targets asphalt producers, road construction firms, and public infrastructure agencies, primarily in Germany, while also planning to expand internationally.
