Only 10% of the world's waste plastic is recycled.
Consumers are recycling, but Industry has no effective solution to recycle post consumer plastic waste. In fact, a whopping 90% of plastics ever produced cannot be sorted, treated, or repurposed in a cost-effective manner.
Landfills are at capacity, and the problem is now an industry crisis on a global scale. Increasingly, waste plastic is being burned or dumped.
However, incinerated waste plastic contributes to up to 25% of the world’s carbon emissions, and plastic that is dumped into our oceans results in polluted waters and harmful micro plastics in fish and, ultimately, humans.

68 Million tons of plastic are burned each year.
Landfills around the world are at capacity.
14 Million tons of plastic are dumped into the oceans each year.

A Global Goal
Global leaders, per the 2015 Paris Agreement, have set a date of 2050 to achieve a decarbonized world. Yet without a solution for the world’s plastic waste, that goal is unattainable.
A Green Tech Solution Emerges
The continued advancement of technology combined with human ingenuity gives birth to long awaited solutions that once seemed unachievable.
