Co-Founder in Residence, Turning Plastic Waste into Circular Olefins

The Problem Worth Solving 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. The Venture 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...
