Executive Brief
Ecotec Global Limited (operating as OKOsix) is a material science innovator focused on the circular economy. They specialize in the synthesis of biodegradable, plant-based, and recycled bioplastics (OKO-PE, OKO-PP, OKO-ABS) for medical, personal care, and industrial applications. Their technical core lies in polymer engineering and non-woven fabric production.
Strategic Fit & Lead Score
Lead Score: 52 (40-59: General Research / Engineering)
Why this Score? While OKOsix focuses on soft polymers and 6C focuses on ultra-hard carbon, the intersection lies in Manufacturing Infrastructure and Process Chemistry. OKOsix requires high-precision, wear-resistant tooling for medical-grade non-woven production and sophisticated electrochemical sensing for their "upgrading" service of recycled plastics. Furthermore, their goal of "microplastic-free" water aligns with 6C’s BDD (Boron Doped Diamond) capabilities in advanced oxidation processes.
6C Solutions Proposal
| Application Area | 6C Solution | Technical Value Prop |
|---|---|---|
| Tooling & Die Life | PCD / DLC Custom Coating | Direct diamond coating on extrusion dies and cutting blades for non-woven fabrics prevents polymer buildup and extends tool life by >10x compared to steel. |
| Wastewater Treatment | BDD Electrodes | OKOsix's manufacturing or recycling processes can generate complex organic runoff. BDD-based Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) can mineralize organic pollutants without chemical additives. |
| Recycled Plastic QC | Electrochemical Sensors (BDD) | For their "upgrading" service, BDD sensors can detect trace heavy metals or legacy contaminants in recycled feedstocks with sensitivity down to ppb levels. |
| Thermal Processing | PCD Heat Spreaders | Bioplastics are thermally sensitive. 6C heat spreaders in extrusion heads allow for more precise temperature control, preventing thermal degradation of plant-based polymers during forming. |
| Carbon Material R&D | Custom MPCVD System | Since OKOsix is a "Carbon-Saving" company, 6C can provide the hardware to explore the synthesis of carbon-based nano-composites or diamond-like-carbon (DLC) integration into sustainable polymers. |
Engagement Hooks
- Technical Question: "As you scale the production of your OKO-PE and OKO-PP bioplastics, how are you managing the accelerated wear on extrusion dies caused by the unique rheology and additives of plant-based resins compared to traditional fossil-plastics?"
- Value Statement: 6C can enhance the "Zero-Waste" lifecycle of OKOsix products by providing BDD-based electrochemical systems that eliminate microplastic residues and organic contaminants from your production wastewater.
