MBA Polymers patented technology breaks down all of our tech-junk (printers, computers, cell phones, etc) and then sorts the plastics from the non-plastics. Plastics are converted into commercial-grade pellets and sold to manufacturers to make new products with, saving landfills from billions of pounds of non-biodegradable plastics.
Researchers at Cornell University discovered a process by which plastic can be made from carbon-based limonene found in citrus peels and carbon dioxide. The resulting company, Novomer, is working with corporate clients to develop commercial applications for their biocompatible and biodegradable plastics.
