Energy Generation

E-waste leasing and product-as-a-service models cut electronic waste by improving design, take-back, lease returns, and secure recycling.

Incorporating zeolites into plastic recycling could signal a significant advancement for sustainability.

Engineered polymers extract rare-earth ions from contaminated leachates, reducing acid consumption, cycle time, and solvent inventories.

Turning mixed plastic waste into hydrogen fuel and carbon nanomaterials for H₂ engines and advanced lubricant additives.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is emerging as a popular method in the research and development of electronics that use conductive polymers.

Mixed plastic waste can be transformed into activated carbon through microwave pyrolysis, improving CO₂ capture and recycling efficiency.

Polymer science enables modular, durable, and precise Battery-as-a-Service systems, advancing efficiency and scalability in energy solutions.

Using Moldflow analysis, researchers seek to optimize a rubber component in single-screw pumps, increasing the efficiency of oil production equipment.

Plastics emit 3% of global CO₂. Aligning the value chain—via recycling, clean tech, and circularity—can cut emissions up to 90% by 2050.

Petroleum is the primary feedstock for plastic production, so fluctuations in oil prices significantly impact manufacturing and supply chain costs.
