Plastic pollution presents a global challenge. A new non-catalytic pyrolysis technology, grounded in thermodynamics and quantum mechanics, offers an innovative solution. This process transforms plastic waste into powerful fuels, fundamentally shifting our approach to plastic, waste, and energy.

The underlying principle is that all plastic can be repurposed by converting matter and energy. Driven by a passion for social impact, Andoni leads Petgas, a Mexican startup. Petgas is developing this technology and market to convert plastic waste into clean, potent fuels.

When considering an electric vehicle, have you thought about battery recycling? The increasing production of lithium-ion batteries for EVs presents major economic and environmental challenges at their end-of-life. Sulalit Bandyopadhyay, a researcher at NTNU and Delft University of Technology, is developing efficient, closed-loop recycling strategies to recover metals from old car batteries for new ones.

In his TEDx talk, Dr. Bandyopadhyay raises awareness about this critical issue. He argues that consumer demand, driven by asking the right questions, will compel society and the market to prioritize battery recycling.
