The Tough Tech problem we are solving
The plastics industry accounts for nearly 6% of global CO2 emissions. A small fraction of plastic waste is recycled globally, with the United States recycling plastic at an even lower rate than the global average. This discarded plastic ends up in our landfills, oceans or it gets incinerated, further compounding our contamination, CO2 and particulate emissions global problems.
