Sustainable And Performance-Advantaged Plastics Made From CO2

CO2 is rarely used as a feedstock for chemical production because most CO2 technologies suffer from large energy and material losses. Our core innovation is a CO2 utilization method that improves manufacturing efficiency by eliminating process steps. We are creating CO2 recycling technologies to produce sustainable chemicals at low cost.
