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.

When two surfaces rub, static electricity builds as electrons move from one material to another during the contact and separation.

Breakthrough tech turns waste plastics into carbon materials for energy storage, powering supercapacitors, batteries, and hydrogen production.
