Converting Household Waste into Valuable Plastics
With scalable, cost-effective and climate positive measures, UBQ Materials has repositioned landfill-destined waste as a valuable resource, taking the very notion of waste and turning it into something beneficial – the beginning of a new material and the building block of a world without waste.
Tato Bigio, Co-founder and Co-CEO of UBQ Materials, joined Jeff Wooster, Global Sustainability Director at Dow, to discuss how UBQ is revolutionizing the waste conversion process, enabling us to take the entirety of household waste and use it to develop a material and a non-linear system that moves us closer to a more circular economy.
