Why it matters

There is a plastic emergency.

By 2040, the volume of pollution in circulation will double while the volume in oceans will triple. By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. While recycling efforts aim to overcome this, only 1% of plastics are recycled in still in use. There is a plastic emergency.

How it works

A revolutionary biocatalyst technology for infinite recycling.

Samsara Eco has developed a revolutionary biocatalyst technology that allows infinite recycling of plastics. The catalyst depolymerises plastic back into its original monomer form for reuse. The depolymerisation process even works for hard to recycle plastics, including coloured plastic, multi-layer plastics and mixed plastics.
