We discussed this intensively at our Principal Investigator (PI) workshop.
Our conclusion: A holistic approach is needed!
From design, production, and use to end-of-life management and recycling, every phase counts. A huge thank you to all PIs for your expertise, your input, and your commitment to sustainable innovation.
Together we are transforming the plastics industry into a circular future.

But not only chemists and biologists participated; contributions from computer science, process engineering, anthropogenic material flows, and operations management also demonstrated catalaix’s interdisciplinary approach. Our
Catalytic recycling processes are revolutionizing the way we handle plastics. They offer the possibility of selectively breaking down different plastics and either finding optimal methods
A new chemical process was developed. ISOMET (Tandem Isomerization Metathesis): Durable plastic waste, such as polyethylene (PE) from bottles, is converted into valuable chemical intermediates!
