1. Case Study: UBQ Transforming Waste into Reusable Material
UBQ, an Israeli start-up, is revolutionizing the materials industry with an innovative and sustainable solution to the global waste crisis. Derived from 100% unsorted household waste, UBQ transforms diverse materials such as banana peels, chicken bones, pizza boxes, and mixed plastics into a homogeneous thermoplastic, offering a unique alternative to traditional oil-based plastics.
Notably, UBQ’s commitment to sustainability extends throughout its lifecycle, achieved by preventing more greenhouse gasses than it generates, resulting in a cost-competitive, homogenous material for a wide range of applications.
With applications across various industries, including retail, automotive, building and construction, logistics, and consumer durables, UBQ exemplifies dedication to sustainable innovation through its patented conversion process, operating at lower temperatures and energy consumption, marking a significant stride towards a more sustainable future.
