About the Webinar
Plastic pollution has become pervasive in both natural and built environments, with decomposition times ranging from 100 to 1,000 years depending on conditions. In this webinar, Argonne National Laboratory scientist Max Delferro presented a new suite of catalysts and a blueprint for an industrial process designed to convert single-use plastics into high-value industrial products like lubricants and base oils.
Key Topics Covered
- Development of novel catalysts for breaking down plastics
- A blueprint for scalable industrial processes to recycle plastics into valuable products
- Results from validation across multiple laboratory environments
- Opportunities for industry partnerships to scale and test the technology
Featured Speaker
