Plastic’s Eureka Moment is Here
Western Countries produce a lot of plastic waste.
Most of it ends up in landfills, or dumped illegally in the ocean or the countryside.
Most people think it’s useless.
We disagree.
Unwanted Plastic → Energy
Traditional approaches to dealing with plastic rely the faulty assumption that we can and will recycle all or most of our plastic.
Unfortunately, 91% of the plastic we use is not recycled.
This is where we come in:
Create safer conditions for workers
By using proprietary methods that treat hazardous waste more gently, we eliminate much of the hazards of processing e-waste.
Make electronics environmentally sustainable
By strategically re-using electronic components, we can make use of the e-waste we have now, while also decreasing the mining of minerals for and manufacturing of those same components in the future.
Reduce waste in the recycling process
By recovering re-usable electronic components at a large scale, we decrease the percentage of recycled waste that still ends up in the landfill.
Deploy homegrown solutions to our waste problems
We have a recycling problem in this country, and we can no longer ship it to someone else and make it their problem. We’re up to the challenge.
