Turning Garbage into Gold

Because recycling does not work!
Less than 9% recycled worldwide
Even in South Korea with 80% plastic recapture rate, more than half of the plastic is subsequently incinrated or sent to landfills as the plastics are not fit for recycling. True recycling rate: 27%
We are experimenting with a system to couple biogas generation with plastic digestion, accelerating plastic degradation from centuries to weeks.
Plastics either enter the food chain or slowly degrade to methane. Reducing methane emmisions is up to 120 times more effective than reducing CO2 in combating climte change

Over the next decade, methane emissions will be responsible for 60% of global warming effect

Sources of methane: Garbage is the fastest and cheapest possible place to intervene in climate change
Biogas plants process less than 5% of garbage worldwide

Density gradient separation
Rate limiting factor in bacterial digestion of plastics is size. Smaller the plastic, the faster its conersion to useful end products like methane, 3D printer filaments and insulation boards.

Our plastic digestion protocol does not burn plastics, has no toxic byproducts and utilizes energy created by methane derived from its own digestion along with organic materials from garbage.
Cleaning up Plastic and reducing methane emissions, are not simply for improving the health of the environment. Plastics are now part of the food chain and are seen in human tissues. They are recognized as a likely driver for adverse health outcomes and act as a trigger for blood clot formation. Microplastics are found at 7-10 fold concentrations in the brain than other tissues, potentially contributing to neurodegerative diseases like dementia. S
Studies indicate that the average person ingests 5 grams of plastic per week, the weight of a credit card.
Plastic can cross the blood brain barrier and concentrate in the brain. The average individual has the weight of a platic spoon's worth of plastic in the brain.
