Waste to Sustainable Thermoplastic Solution

Society generates over 2 billion tons of waste a year, most of which ends up in unmanaged landfills. Methane emissions from decaying organics accelerate climate change in the short term, and unmanaged waste has a disproportionate impact on the world's most vulnerable populations. The problem of plastic waste in trash, which negatively impacts life on both land & sea, is only growing, especially with the increased demand for virgin plastics following bans on the international sale of plastic waste for recycling.

UBQ Materials has developed a process to transform unsorted household waste–everything from chicken bones to dirty diapers, mixed-plastics & oily cardboard–into an alternative that can be used in place of virgin plastics to produce everyday goods, from car parts to building materials. UBQ material can be recycled again & again via our conversion tech or conventional recycling systems. UBQ's technology serves people & the planet by mitigating global GHG emissions and providing a long-term solution for communities most at risk from climate change without closed-loop waste management systems.

UBQ Materials has signed its first contracts for the supply of its material to plastic manufacturers and is currently validating the material for new applications.
