NILO is a deep tech company based in Auckland, New Zealand, focused on transforming plastic waste into valuable products. It aims to solve the global plastic waste crisis by creating sustainable alternatives to traditional materials. There first products are industrial adhesives used in composite wood products.
NILO was founded in 2017 and has since grown with support from investors across New Zealand, Japan, Germany, Australia, and the UK.
NILO is backed by notable investors including Inter IKEA, Pacific Channel, Icehouse Ventures, K1W1, and SDG Impact Japan.
NILO uses proprietary technology to transform soft plastic waste (PE and PP) into an industrial-grade adhesive.
By converting waste into useful materials, NILO supports a circular economy, reduces landfill dependency, and lowers carbon emissions in industries like construction and manufacturing. NILO has a full LCA.
NILO’s recycled plastic adhesive products are designed to be drop in partial or full replacement for adhesives system such as formaldehyde or MDI used in the manufacture of particle board, MDF (medium density fiber board) and OSB (oriented strand board).
NILO is planning a $20 million demonstration plant in Drury, South Auckland, to scale up production and showcase its commercial-grade adhesive technology.
