Problem
The accumulation of plastic waste poses a significant environmental challenge due to the low efficiency and high costs associated with traditional recycling methods. Current plastic waste elimination often relies on high-heat incineration, which is only accessible to large-scale recyclers and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.
Solution
AC Biode develops chemical technologies, including Plastalyst and Pyrolyst, to address plastic waste and CO2 emissions. Plastalyst is a chemical catalyst that decomposes polymers into monomers at temperatures below 200°C without solvents, enabling the recycling of difficult-to-decompose plastics. Pyrolyst employs catalytic pyrolysis to convert plastic waste, including tires and medical waste, into fuels and chemical feedstocks, featuring continuous residue discharge and dechlorination. Reco Glass captures CO2 from the air and transforms it into glass, offering air purification solutions and low-carbon glass manufacturing.
Target Audience
AC Biode serves businesses in the recycling, waste management, glass manufacturing, and air purification industries, as well as environmentally conscious end-users seeking sustainable solutions.
Features
