The Create the Future Design Contest has a 23-year legacy of recognizing innovations that shape industries such as aerospace, medical, manufacturing, and energy.

You are probably wondering: “How come that a chemical recycling technology wins a prize in electronics?”

Considering that e-scrap is one of the most difficult-to-recycle types of waste.

For several customers, we have decomposed the organic fraction, leaving only the metals behind as solids. This has been done before, but Plastalyst can do it cheaper, faster and with lower energy usage. In fact, decomposition temperatures of 200°C leave the metals in a pristine state to be reused in a circular economy.

Kevin Hess, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Mouser Electronics, stated, “We proudly support visionary innovators worldwide and congratulate AC Biode for their outstanding achievement. The exciting new technologies from this competition reaffirm the power of engineering to solve society’s greatest challenges.”

AC Biode looks forward to continuing its mission to develop revolutionary electronic technologies that contribute to sustainable, high-performance solutions for the global market.
