Technology Showcase // Innovation for Reuse, Recyclability, Sortation, and Circularity

Enjoy a taste of the Rethinking Materials summit that took place on May 4-5! Watch the discussion take shape between start-ups and our industry panel.

Meet four innovators with a technology to address plastic waste. Each presenting company had five minutes to showcase their solution and take questions from our industry panel.

Material innovation and systemic solutions as we transition towards a circular economy:

• Compostable high-performing materials from agricultural by-products and food waste
• Additives such as magnets to support identification and separation at the recycling stage
• Nano-engineering to enhance recyclability
• New coatings to improve the performance of biodegradable or compostable packaging
• Engineered enzymes that digest plastics
• Intelligent separation technologies enhancing recycling operations
