Stranded Solutions is commercializing a patented chemical process that is an industry first combining two well-known technologies to combat GHG emissions and increase oil and natural gas producers’ profits. One technology is the process of direct partial oxidation which combines natural gas with oxygen at elevated temperature and pressure to produce methanol. The other technology is a fluidized bed reactor which is a chamber in which the reaction occurs and that manages temperature and pressure to increase efficiency. Methanol is a $42+ billion market expected to increase 5-fold by 2050. Stranded Solutions’ patented methane-to-methanol conversion technology can be scaled down to 1/100th the size of typical methanol plants, a solution that accommodates diverse types of smaller and non-traditional gas resources such as associated gas flared from oil wells. Comments from a natural gas producer’s CEO and prospective customer: “Stranded Solutions uses the earlier simpler direct reaction process of “partial oxidization” (burning). This is less efficient but less capital intensive. The potential low capital cost of Stranded Solutions’ process may become a “game changer” in upgrading natural gas in-field to higher value products.”

With our technical partners in Japan, we are ready for a pilot test on carbonizing food waste mixed with plastic (up to 10%). This can be applied for discarded plastic and uneaten food of the airline cabin. Huge amounts of food waste and plastic end up in landfills or incinerated. Problem: Food waste is often mixed with plastic waste and it is quite difficult to separate. If you incinerate them, you need high temperature, or dioxin, tar and high GHG emissions will be made. Huge recycling facilities are along with high CAPEX and OPEX due to high temperature and their centralized systems. Products: We have two types of catalysts: “Kasumi” is to carbonize mixture of food waste (90% or more) and plastic waste (up to 10%) on site at a lower temperature than competitors. “Plastalyst” is to decompose plastics quite efficiently on site from polymer to monomer at lower temperature and pressure than competitors.

In 2014, a group of young Ghanaian and German started an initiative called Recycle Up! Ghana to tackle the tremendous waste challenges in Ghana and the world through education and empowerment of the youth. The approach is based on a core set of beliefs that young people are the change-makers of the future and that local problems need to be solved by local residents. The goal of Recycle Up! Ghana is to train the youth to be able to identify societal challenges such as plastic waste pollution and to develop local sustainable solutions that contribute to alleviating this problem. Recycle Up! Ghana believes that these plastic waste can be recycled into useful products in an exchange to save the environment from pollution. With this belief we started the Community waste recycling project which seeks to educate, segregate, collect and recycle post-consumer plastic waste from the community level into useful products like school bags, phone cases, carabiners, furniture, building materials(bricks) etc. We also setup a Plastic Waste innovation center to research, prototype and test products that can be developed from the recycling of plastic waste. These ideas can further be incubated as startups in our business incubator program to become fully profitable business ventures.

rePATRN intends to bridge the gap between the developed world that is in dire need of PET plastics and Ghana, a developing country, which does not have the infrastructure to manage the material. Rather than building a new collection system from scratch, we decided to leverage the existing informal collection system, that after extensive research, proved to be more effective than formal waste collection. It is through these informal workers, that rePATRN is looking to procure 900 tonnes of PET a month to feed West Africas first food grade PET recycling plant. The journey to the recycling plant is divided into three phases. In phase 1, the current phase, we are rebuilding our supply network after it collapsed post-COVID. In this phase the entire volume that is procured is sorted by color, separated from contaminants, baled and exported to Europe for recycling. There the material is used for food grade applications, textiles and packaging straps. Once we get back above the levels of September 2019 (857 tonnes), phase 2 will be initiated. Here we will evaluate where the new plant should be situated, what type of building we will need to fulfil our needs and what supplier of recycling machinery to choose to ensure highest quality pellets. Phase 3 will see the execution of phase 2.

Ecoins tackles the low recycling rates in Latin America by addressing the challenges experienced by three main stakeholders: • Collection centers: By 2018 only 4.5% of waste in Latin America is recycled, in large part due to the fact that most waste management systems still lack the capacity to collect recoverable waste separately. • Producers: Extended producer responsibility (EPR) is starting to gain traction in LATAM, and companies are taking significant steps to recover the materials they put into the market and use recyclable materials in their packaging (eg. Pepsico, Nestlé). However, they are facing collection bottlenecks. • Consumers: They are progressively more aware of the need to do responsible consumption. But because municipal waste collection / management systems haven't shown leadership in recycling, many citizens willing to recycle lack the basic knowledge, means or incentives to do so. Through an online platform (app + web) as well as communication and educational campaigns, ecoins incentivizes the consumer to separate waste and take it to existing community or municipal collection centers, rewarding them with the ecoins currency which can be exchanged for discounts and promotions from partners.

Bintix brings together two seemingly separate problems/markets- waste management and Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) marketing. Problems plaguing both sectors are solved by Bintix in one stroke. Bintix generates consumer consumption data from waste thereby making the value of the plastics (low/high) irrelevant. This removes systemic collection bias and ensures that every plastic matters and is collected - preventing plastics from entering the water bodies right at source. Valuable data from waste helps avert FMCG companies from making inaccurate/imprecise marketing decisions due to current data paucity/unreliability in India and abroad. Bintix has completed Proof of Concept with Unilever, L'Oréal, Kellogg's, Godrej, J&J and others to establish data product and has scaled up operations to 6 cities across India to obtain Pan-India data. Revenue from data on top of the revenue from plastic recycling/service makes the model sustainable and scalable globally. Novel value to waste!

We developed a microbial cocktail that degrades, metabolises and mineralizes fossil based plastics. Our process is applicable to all sorts of single-use plastics (PET, PP, LDPE, HDPE, PS, CPE, EVA -all tested) and can operate under suboptimal conditions. we have tested these plastics separately and mixed in together as well. The listed plastics are post-consumer waste plastics: colored, clear, sterilized and plastics with food debris on them. This method not only solves the plastic issue but also generates valuable end-products: bioplastics and biogas. With these, our aim is to create a circular, thus more sustainable economy. The process itself can be described as follows: we take a blend of hydrocarbon based plastics, put them in a batch with the bacteria, our minimal essential media and water. Afterwards in about two days we can macroscopically confirm the beginning of the degradation process. Complete degradation of the polymers will take about two months.

We help address the issue of "binfrastructure", recording locations and typology of bins whilst also providing an innovative solution to help with litter surveys and comparative data sets across local authorities, an issue identified by DEFRA in the "Litter Strategy For England". Brands/Producers - We integrate augmented reality marketing and brand-sponsored competitions into the game and use data to identify recyclability issues of their packaging and reduce their usage of single-use plastics.

We have made it our mission to provide the plastics industry with technologically advanced tools that help limit plastic waste through circularity. We believe that plastic should be recycled, not down-cycled. Our novel sorting system allows plastics converters and brand owners to recycle plastic waste that current technologies cannot handle. We sort complicated plastic mixtures into individual plastic types, obtaining very high purities. This means that the sorted plastic types easily can go back into production, enabling closed-loop recycling. The system's scalability makes on-site implementation possible, allowing plastics converters and brand owners to obtain full control and traceability of their own waste streams. Moreover, our tonnage based lease model makes our system profitable from day one, both economically and environmentally. Our aspiration is to change the entire mindset of the plastic recycling industry, from a centralized, volume focused mindset to a decentralized, quality focused mindset. So, if your company has a plastic waste headache... We can sort you out today.

We are an ambitious start-up, aiming for a significant improvement of the quality control in the plastic recycling industry. We are developing new analytical technologies to improve material property characterization of plastics and complex materials. Currently, we are realizing our Proof-of-Concept, and aim for pilots later this year. Therefor, we are actively searching for partners that can help us in this journey. Conventional DSC devices are highly accurate and process all types (and colours) of plastics but can only process samples of approximately five milligrammes of plastic flakes per scan (about 1-2 flakes). With an average batch of plastic (one big-bag) weighing one tonne (1000 kg), a quality scan of a mere five milligrammes is not representative nor reliable to assess the quality of such batches. In order to make analyses reliable and scalable, our MADSCAN device will be able to provide samples for up to 500 grammes of plastic per scan, whilst maintaining the same level of accuracy (99%) and plastic range. This increases the analysis capacity by a factor of 100.000 per scan without a decrease in accuracy or applicability.

We are building the digital infrastructure for the circular economy.

Empower is creating a solution to the plastic waste problem by giving plastic a value. By introducing an easily deployable digital deposit system, where plastic waste collection and recycling is incentivised, they are cleaning up the world while fighting poverty by providing a wage to those in need. The digital deposit systems provides financial incentives to crowdsource collection and segregation at source, vastly lovering the costs of collection and recycling of plastic waste while also contributing to higher quality materials. Empower has piloted its system in 16 countries across Europe, SE Asia and Africa and has permanent collection points in 7 countries where plastic waste is collected and brought to recycling. Through Empowers system it is possible to source socially collected plastic waste and track its journey through the value chain, from collection to recycled products. It is a fully digital, scalable & easy to deploy system that can be a core part of any supply chain.

Ichthion, a multi-award winning company born out of the laboratories of Imperial College London, seeks to overcome the limitations of existing technologies by delivering the first truly scalable solutions to reduce the flow of plastics into the world’s oceans, proposing energy-generative systems that uniquely can installed in rivers, coastal areas and the oceans to remove plastic waste and generate data. We have developed three types of technology streams, Azure, Cobalt and Ultramarine. These operate in different environments to prevent macro and micro plastics entering into the phytoplankton growth areas in coastal zones, and also for the reclamation of plastics in the ocean. Our systems are in Technology Readiness Level 4 (Test system Validation in lab environment). Our technologies have been designed to provided data about the plastic, which we use to inform goverments about strategies of circular economy that can effectively reduce the pollution entering the waterstreams.

We are about to revolutionise the polyolefin industry. With radical new solutions to long-standing compatibility problems, we are opening up a new world of opportunities in polymer blending, joining and finishing. Whichever polyolefin market you are in, we have a compatibility solution for you.

The Great Bubble Barrier wants to remove as much plastic as possible from the environment. We will achieve this by ensuring that as many inland waterways in the world as possible are free of plastic, so that the plastic soup in our oceans is dramatically reduced, and will not increase (supporting the initiatives of The Ocean Cleanup). By doing so, we want to improve water quality and the quality of life for humans and animals. We filter plastic from the water by strategically placing bubble curtains in rivers, canals and channels. In this way, we want to sustainably recycle plastic to the supply chain. In addition, we want to bring awareness of the plastic pollution problem, in order to prevent the increase of plastic ending up in the waterways. And ultimately, we want to make the Bubble Barriers completely unnecessary!

Every year, 300 million tonnes of plastic gets thrown out as waste, with under 10% being reused or recycled. Most of the plastic waste is being incinerated with a high carbon footprint and a lot of toxic air pollution as a consequence. And a lot of plastic waste ends up in the oceans, killing fish, birds and even ending up in our food chain. Upp! takes action against plastic pollution. Upp! is currently active in the Netherlands and in Vietnam. We want to close the plastic circle locally. The products we make are designed for circular use so should be re-usable or recyclable. Modular, easy to assemble and disassemble when needed. Durable so re-usable at end-of-use and 100% recyclable so truly circular if needed. Products as a service business models to be developed. Lease or deposit schemes to be applied. And everything together with the customer.

At Greyparrot, we provide waste recognition software that identifies materials using AI-based computer vision to monitor, audit and sort waste at scale.

Our first product, an Automated Waste Monitoring System, is currently deployed on moving conveyor belts in sorting facilities to measure large waste flows. The system provides waste analytics to increase resource capture, give quality guarantee to buyers and mitigate against risk. We are committed to unlocking the financial value of waste, which will, in turn, support our transition to a circular economy and keep our environment clean for generations to come.

Plastic Back has developed a technology able to convert plastic waste to crude oil and other valuable chemicals. Our product, a conversion unit based on this technology, allows treatment and land-fill sites to reduce the amount of waste land-filled. On the other side, our solutions allows 'waste producers' such as factories, agriculture operations, hospitals and more the alternative to their high removals and treatment fees they pay for waste removal. By treating the waste with our innovative, chemical solution, we are able to: 1. Work in room temperature: under 100 C. a Hugh economic advantage compared to competition (600-1200 C) 3. Develop physically small units compared to competition 4. Work in a closed system allowing use to control all aspects of the conversion unit and reduce and even eliminate GHG emissions Plastic Back won 1st place in HP's 'carbon neutral' competition and 2nd place in the prestigious New Energy Challenge by Shell

Impact Recycling has developed a breakthrough plastic recycling technology which separates the components of post-consumer, mixed plastic waste to recover two consistent streams of plastic; polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), each with a 98% purity. Our water based, density separation process is known as BOSS (Baffled Oscillation Separation System). The purity of the recycled PE & PP produced by BOSS ensures a high value product to meet the demand from the plastic moulding industry. BOSS recycles the hard to recycle plastics left behind by waste companies and is a driver of significant quantities of plastic away from landfill and incineration. The mixed feedstock we process makes up 60% of the plastic sent to landfill or incineration in the EU. Existing solutions either cannot technically separate this plastic or do so in an economically unviable way. BOSS technology is also colour agnostic, allowing effective separation of black material not possible with existing technologies

Plastic Odyssey aims to promote and make recycling technologies accessible. To do so, we develop low-tech and open-source technologies to valorize plastic waste. These machines are based on existing technologies that have already proven to be successful as far as sorting, recycling, and pyrolysis are concerned. However, they have to be improved and adapted to be mobile, budget-friendly, easy to produce and to repair. Blueprints will be available online for free so that everyone can have access to them freely. To promote sustainable practices and technologies, Plastic Odyssey will embark on a 3-year expedition, +30 stopovers, 40,000 nautical miles sailed to study local cultures, needs and use of plastics and initiate the building of small local recycling units and waste reduction initiatives. We have financial partnerships with L’Occitane en Provence, Clarins, Matmut, and Groupe Crédit Agricole.

Current waste sorting infrastructure relies on huge facilities far outside city centers that still depend heavily on expensive manual picking (exposing workers to health hazards). Spun-out from academia, Recycleye developed an ultra-low-cost computer vision sensor capable of classifying all items in waste streams by material type and brand (costing <£300 vs traditionally used NIR sensors that cost >£40k and only detect plastics) – it is continuously being improved through our active partnership with Microsoft and the Imperial Data Science Institute. The ‘material passport’ logs generated will enable waste pickers/traders/facility managers to understand levels of contamination (and place an exact value on each ton of recycled plastic – turning waste into an easily tradable commodity). By leveraging this with affordable robotics the company is working with partners to launch an autonomous low-cost sorting solution that is unlocking the value-add behind decentralized sorting.

Sharing information across supply chains can present challenges, not only because of the inherent complexity and scale but also due to concerns around trust, privacy and confidentiality. Circularise has developed a patent-pending technology to enable supply chain transparency for materials and products via creating a digital twin on a public system that avoids exposing sensitive data. This enables material producers, OEMs, and manufacturers to trace raw materials from source, into parts and ultimately to the end product and end of life recovery. This innovative technology enables companies to show "good-stewardship" practices towards customers and regulators, but at the same time maintain control over the information they share to improve collaboration and competitive advantages. We have a proven track record of working with companies such as Marubeni, BASF, Covestro, Domo Chemicals, Stanley Black & Decker, Arcelik, Porsche and a number of their Tier 1-2 suppliers.

If you're in the city, you probably put your recyclables at the curb next to your garbage. But many rural areas in the United States have little or no access to such services. Recyclops is keeping an eye out for those folks. The company hires local independent contractors with pickup trucks, using a tech-driven smart routing app. Recyclops serves more than 3,500 homes and plans this year to more than double that number across 40 cities nationwide. Recyclops operates in Utah, Idaho, Colorado and Arizona, and is expanding into Texas, the CEO says. Since its inception in 2014, the startup has recycled nearly 2,000 tons and diverted 4 million pounds of waste from landfills. Recyclops charges $10 a month for twice-monthly pickups. For businesses, Recyclops provides glass recycling services as well.

The Olyns solution is a highly scalable, advertising funded HW/SW platform designed to collect and sort recycled plastic and aluminum in locations with high pedestrian traffic. The company’s proprietary recycling machines and mobile app provide compelling gamified incentives for users to recycle their plastic and aluminum containers in the machines. Once deposited, machine learning algorithms sort and crush the material. When the machines are approaching full, an alert is sent via the app to gig workers who empty the machines and transport the material directly to processors in return for payment. Digital out-of-home advertising provides revenue and is shared with host locations as an added benefit of hosting the machines. Host locations can be: grocery stores, big box, cinemas, malls, transportation hubs, etc.

We build coalitions of interested stakeholders, interested in reforming the waste management system, to move towards a responsible disposal method for end of life fishing gear. We are currently active in Alaska, Maine and California and are building programs around the world. We believe that landfill or indefinite storage are not the best disposal method for end of life fishing gear, and are working on collecting it and determining the best recycler based on location and capacity, to mechanically recycle end of life fishing gear. We enable this material to get back into the supply chain so brands and manufacturers can use fishing gear plastic to replace virgin plastic in their products. As of Sept 2020, we have collected 880,000 lbs of fishing gear for recycling.

Our polymer additive enables the valorization of mixed plastics at low cost producing a high quality alloy. Polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) account for about 2/3 of all plastics in post-consumer waste. Due to their different structures, they are not miscible, resulting in plastic mixtures with unacceptably poor strength. One way to create higher quality recycled materials is to perform careful manual separation, but this is expensive and the separated materials still exhibit performance that is inferior to pure PP and PE unless separation is near perfect. Intermix has developed a polymer additive that when added to a stream of mixed PP and PE enables these two polymers to be combined, yielding a polymer alloy that is mechanically comparable to pure PE and PP samples. This obviates laborious and expensive sorting. The polymer additive is particularly potent - as little as 0.5 wt% effectively compatibilizes mixtures with as much as 30% PP contamination.

Circ (formally Tyton) is headquartered in Danville, VA where our research takes place. Danville is a former textile town located on the Virginia/North Carolina border, an hour north of the Research Triangle. Circ developed a solution to chemically recycle blended waste textiles (cotton and polyester) to economically recover both products. The system uses sub-critical water to de-polymerize the polyester so that the TPA and Ethylene Glycol can be recovered from the liquid stream. These polyester monomers can then be polymerized into polyester, replacing oil; as a feedstock. The solid fraction, residual cotton, is converted into a high quality cellulose for use in making viscose, lyocell or acetate, replacing trees as a feedstock. Circ is in the process of scaling its technology and is currently testing with multiple corporate partners across the textile supply chain, through to major global fashion brands.

Using robotics, computer vision, and artificial intelligence, we detect and separate landfill waste from recyclables and compost while gathering useful data for recyclers and replacing expensive commercial waste receptacles. TrashBot replaces conventional waste receptacles (Trash, Compost, and Recycling Bins) with an affordable solution that instantly improves the quality and quantity of recyclable and compostable material while giving useful and actionable data to recyclers and facility managers. TrashBot's screen and analytics can be used to then provide location-specific information and education to employees and the public on how to improve their recycling habits. We also have an option where your corporation can leverage our platform to communicate sustainability messaging in high-traffic public places.

Post-consumer plastic bags and packaging film are one of the most difficult types of commodities to recycle, primarily due to the thin, flimsy form of the material. But bags are good stuff, you can recycle them into many different products. Unfortunately, bags are a contaminant at the Material Recovery Facilities that sort recyclables, and are banned from almost all curbside recycling programs. Millions of tons are landfilled each year. Obaggo solves this problem with a kitchen appliance that thermoforms your plastic bags into a “hockey puck”, that can be commingled in your curbside recycling bin. This hockey puck flows effortlessly through the recycling stream. Obaggo is the new shape of recycling.
