A disruptive plastic recycling technology

Our photoelectrochemical process combines light ​and electrochemistry to convert 100% mixed post ​consumer plastic waste (including PET, HDPE, LDPE, ​PP, and PVC) selectively into renewable chemicals ​via oxidation-reduction reactio​ns.

Solar Powered

Stable and earth abundant catalysts

Industry level current densities

Sustainable recycling

Ethylene (C2H4)

Propanal (CH3CH2CHO)

Ethanol (C2H5OH)

Oxalic Acid (C2H2O4)

Methanol (CH4)

Glycolic Acid (C2H4O3)

Acetic Acid (CH3COOH)

A product line of renewable chemicals

Our vision

We want to reduce carbon emissions by diverting ​plastic waste from landfills and our environment by ​transforming it into renewable chemicals. By ​simplifying traditional chemical production pathways ​and replacing fossil fuel-based inputs, we reduce the ​industry’s reliance on scarce resources and lower ​carbon emissions. This approach not only cuts costs ​across interconnected chemical production ​processes but also creates a more sustainable and ​efficient chemical manufacturing ecosystem.
