Only 9% of the world’s plastic is recycled – the rest winds up burnt, buried or littered. Even recycled plastic degrades over time, winding up as fragments or microplastics in the ocean.
What if there was an alternative to the current imperfect #recycling systems?
That’s the thinking behind DePoly, which switches out the physical melting and shredding processes behind much of today’s recycling for a #chemical method that turns garbage back into the pure, oil-based building blocks of tomorrow’s plastic – ready for another use.
Here, co-founder and CEO Samantha Anderson talks us through the brainwave that led to DePoly – and her goal of tackling ‘all the plastics’.
