More about this role
300 million tonnes of plastic waste are produced every year. Most of it - especially polyolefins like polypropylene - can't be meaningfully recycled. It's one of the largest unsolved problems in materials science, and no one has cracked it at scale. Until now.
We're developing a novel electrified process that transforms polyolefin waste into high-value packaging materials - polypropylene-grade performance with dramatically better end-of-life characteristics, including solvolysis recyclability and designed-in environmental degradability. This isn't incremental improvement. It's a platform with the potential to become a global polyolefin sink.
The recycled polyolefin market is worth $60B+ and accelerating. EU regulations mandate recycled polymer content in food packaging by 2030. Brand owners are scrambling for circular solutions. There's no clear winner yet.
