Circular Molecules

Circular Molecules

Our process accepts mixed waste from bottles to textiles and transforms it step-by-step into valuable chemical components.

Every molecule recovered is one less extracted from fossil fuels.

Why Our Technology Works

Why Our Technology Works

Traditional Recycling

Traditional recycling struggles because:

  1. It requires extreme heat and pressure
  2. It demands clean, sorted plastic streams
  3. It downcycles plastics into lower-quality materials
  4. It generates waste, emissions, and high energy usage
VS

Our Hybrid CR Platform

Our hybrid CR platform solves each of those limitations by:

  1. Operating at ambient temperature with no extreme heat or pressure
  2. Recovering original molecules with >99% purity for true circularity
  3. Running with minimal energy and water consumption
  4. Tolerating most contaminants in real-world plastic waste
  5. Processing mixed, dirty, and colored plastics without extensive cleaning

Powered by Sunlight

Powered by Sunlight

Plastic isn’t waste, it’s untapped resource.

Our chemoenzymatic photoreforming process uses sunlight to convert waste plastics into hydrogen cleanly, safely, and sustainably.
