X's Moonshot for Circularity
Introducing X's moonshot for circularity: How can we turn the world’s waste into our most valuable resource?
And the industry has no data about plastic waste at the molecular or chemical level; when our team tried to buy it for our research purposes, all we received were scanned printouts with very sparse information. We’re currently running a pilot project at a recycling plant in Oregon, where our technology scans thousands of pieces of plastic packaging and containers flying along massive conveyor belts every minute, and then instantly identifies their molecular composition, processing the data in real-time at high speed. Successfully breaking down waste materials into their raw, chemical components in order to create new everyday products could help humanity wean itself off extracting petroleum and other resources from the earth entirely.
