Technical Principle
The econiclay is a material of activated inorganic powder, made from inorganic solid waste,including soil, stone waste, and non-metallic tailings. After these raw materials are collected, sorted, and crushed into microscopic powder, they undergo modification at low temperatures using our special surfactants to form active inorganic powder encapsulated with active ingredients in multi-layered net structure. By mixing and reacting econiclay materials with different polymers, different "Organic-inorganic hybrid eco-environmental materials" will be derived.,suitable for applications across building materials, automotive components, electronic enclosures, synthetic leather, and other industrial sectors.This positions it as an ideal alternative to conventional plastic products, with core competitive advantages rooted in its inorganic properties that deliver superior flexibility, reduced thermoplasticity, Class A fire resistance, and full life-cycle sustainability.
The econiclay represents a pioneering foundational material innovation developed entirely from concept to reality, serving as a typical eco-environmental materials that align with global sustainability goals. This breakthrough invention has been internationally recognized with the Godel Medal at the 50th Geneva International Exhibition of Invention and the China National Patent.Within China's MCM(soft tile) industry standards, the coniclay is officially designated as "Modified Clay Material".
As a trailblazer in the field of econiclay innovation, phomi has established a comprehensive portfolio of 26 independently developed intellectual property rights within the core material technology system of econiclay, creating an end-to-end technical moat that spans raw material formulation, manufacturing processes, and application-specific solutions.

Ccomply with "cradle to cradle"certification standards
1. Material Health
econiclay uses natural materials such as soil, stone waste, and non-metallic tailings as its raw materials. A meticulous process of collection, sorting, and screening ensures the quality of these materials. After being transformed into micro-level inorganic powders, special surfactants are applied to create a protective, multi-layered nets. This commitment to material quality guarantees that econiclay products are free from use or emmision of any harmful ingredients.
2. Product Recyclability
The econiclay products are easy to recycle after they're no longer preferred. They don't decompose into harmful substances, making recycling practical. Using econiclay can create durable and flexible products, reducing the consumption for plastics and offering longer product lifespans. This reduces resources consumption and supports recycling.
3. Clean Air & Climate Protection
Our plant uses self-generated green electricity/steam as energy source and produce at low temperatures, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and helping decrease greenhouse gas emissions. The entire production process is environmentally friendly with no smoke, harmful gases, or wastewater released. econiclay's inorganic properties ensures that it doesn't emit VOC during use or recycling, contributing to cleaner air.
4. Water & Soil Protection
The econiclay products production process conserves water resources by utilizing steam, which is efficiently transformed into production water during the condensation. Therefore, the production process generates zero wastewater, making a positive contribution to the conservation of water resources. Importantly, econiclay products, being non-vitrified inorganic materials, have no detrimental impact on the soil after their lifecycle ends, ensuring the long-term health of the land.
5. Social Responsibility
The production process of econiclay products is designed to minimize waste, noise, and the release of harmful substances, ensuring that both workers and neighboring communities are not negatively impacted by hazardous materials or poor environmental conditions. Utilizing low-temperature manufacturing and self-generated green electricity/steam as an energy source also helps reduce environmental pollution, fostering social equity. Implementation of carbon-neutral measures further supports social sustainability.
