MacroCycle

MacroCycle Technologies is a company that specializes in circular plastics solutions with zero carbon emissions. Their innovative technology focuses on the chemical recycling of plastics, specifically polyesters, through a process called pyrolysis. This process involves breaking down plastic waste into its molecular building blocks, which can then be repolymerized into virgin-quality plastics or other valuable chemicals.

The company's technology is designed to address the growing problem of plastic waste and its environmental impact. By chemically recycling plastics, MacroCycle aims to reduce the need for virgin plastic production, thereby lowering greenhouse gas emissions and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

MacroCycle's team comprises experienced professionals with diverse backgrounds in polymer science, chemical engineering, process design, and sustainability. Their expertise includes polymer chemistry, synthesis, analytics, lifecycle assessment, kinetic simulations, and the design and operation of large-scale chemical processing units.

The company's approach to plastic recycling involves optimizing the pyrolysis process to achieve high efficiency and quality, while also exploring new catalytic strategies for plastic waste chemical upcycling. MacroCycle utilizes high-temperature and high-pressure flow reactors to conduct experiments and optimize the process for commercial scale-up.
