MEON technology for CIRPAL

MEON is MeSentia’s technology platform for qualified secondary materials. CIRPAL composite pallets are its first product application.

CIRPAL industrial production environment

From cost centre to productive resource

MEON aims to turn qualified secondary materials into industrial products where conventional recycling is commercially unattractive. Process performance and product economics will be assessed through validation.

1

Difficult secondary streams

Mixed and lower-value material streams are screened and qualified for a defined product and process window.

2

MEON processing technology

MEON combines machinery, material formulation and processing to develop structural components.

3

Durable industrial products

The resulting components are designed for scalable applications, regional production and organised circular reprocessing.

Technology maturity

Technology maturity and next tests

MeSentia’s September 2026 non-confidential overview reports a TRL 6 baseline. The current programme centres on repeatability, automation, quality control and full-scale product validation.

TRL 9, serial deployment and validated unit economics are roadmap objectives—not current achievements.

Patent application and industrialisation roadmap

The published patent application documents MeSentia’s process development. The roadmap sets out the planned steps towards production; CIRPAL product validation is still pending.

Published MeSentia patent application

MeSentia AG is the applicant of international publication WO2025021451 A1, published on 30 January 2025, concerning a method for the production of plastic construction panels.

Applicant: MeSentia AG · SwitzerlandPriority: EP 20230188220 · 27 July 2023Publication: WO2025021451 A1 · 30 January 2025

The application concerns plastic construction panels. It does not establish a granted CIRPAL product patent.

Pilot-to-production roadmap

The current planning separates prototype testing, reference validation and production deployment.

01MeSentia / Bern
Existing test facility with prototype tooling.
02MEON X · Switzerland
Reference pilot and validation system. Indicative pilot-system lead time: 7–8 months.
03Documented validation
Repeatability, automation, quality control and full-scale product testing.
04MEON Alpha · Thailand
First planned Royce production system after technical release. Indicative production-machine build time: about 6 months.
05Series rollout
Further systems can be manufactured through qualified licensed machine-building partners in local markets.

Lead times are current planning assumptions and may change with engineering scope, final specifications, approvals and supplier capacity.

Execution model

MEON X in Switzerland · MEON Alpha in Thailand

TREON supports the MEON X validation programme in Switzerland. In return, a participation in the MeSentia platform is planned, subject to definitive agreements on scope and terms.MEON X remains at MeSentia as the reference test machine. MEON Alpha is planned for Thailand after successful validation.

Following successful validation, Thailand’s first MEON Alpha production system will be manufactured by OMD in Thailand and installed at Royce Universal. MeSentia guides and supervises manufacturing, installation and commissioning. TREON coordinates commercial execution and the country partnership.

Applications and validation

CIRPAL as the first application

Pallets provide a practical application for MEON. Dimensions, load capacity, handling-system compatibility and economics will be assessed through documented tests and pilot customers.

Wood-replacement target

CIRPAL is being developed as a durable alternative for selected logistics applications where moisture resistance and repeated use matter.

Target: pooling and reuse

Standardised pallet formats support repeated handling, traceable cycles and planned recovery within defined customer systems.

Evidence before scale

Dimensions, loads, equipment compatibility, return routes and total economics must be validated with pilot customers before scale-up.
