today it can also be applied to organic waste

Considering that since 2011 it has collected and recovered 1 million tons of used tires that would have become nothing but waste… chapeau!

The startup world obviously finds fertile ground in these high-impact, revolutionary initiatives.

In fact, in the United Kingdom, the startup Seab Energy offers solutions for generating energy from waste , thanks to a containerized anaerobic digester, the Muckbuster, which transforms slurry and agricultural waste into electricity and heat, producing fertilizers as a by-product.

And this is the beauty of upcycling:

The fact is that scientists estimate that 300 million tons of plastic are produced worldwide each year , and about 99% of it is obtained from crude oil and other fossil fuels.

Once in the garbage, this type of plastic can last for centuries cambodia telegram data without decomposing . And when burned, it releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.

One's waste, another's treasure: Here's how these startups sell out with waste 10

If only it were plastic… biomaterials appear to be the solution to replacing all the polluting minerals that circulate in our linear production chain.

This is why some manufacturers are focusing on creating materials derived from organic waste and elements such as corn starch, sweet potatoes or other renewable plant sources, which are biodegradable and decompose in the soil without polluting it.

However, these materials are often not strong or flexible enough, so the upcycling process is vital to make them quality competitors.
