Plastic Pollution: A Global Crisis Demanding Urgent Action
Did you know?
Every year, over 300 million tons of plastic are produced worldwide, with nearly half of it becoming waste after just a single use. This mounting plastic waste pollutes our oceans, harms wildlife, contaminates food chains, and threatens human health on an unprecedented scale.
Key facts
- Microplastics have been found in human drinking water and food sources, raising concerns about health impacts.
- Over 8 million tons of plastic enter the oceans annually.
- An estimated 1 million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals die each year due to plastic ingestion or entanglement.
Our Research & Findings
Our team is tackling the limitations of traditional plastic recycling by developing advanced upcycling methods. Using computational chemistry, we screened and modeled various catalysts to find efficient and sustainable solutions for breaking down plastic waste.
So why did traditional recycling fail?
