UBQ: Renewing Waste to Evolve Plastics
About
UBQ Materials’ patented technology converts MSW, including organic and hard-to-recycle materials, into UBQ, a bio-based thermoplastic material that can replace oil-based plastics. Waste is one of humanity’s most pressing challenges, with over 3 billion tonnes of MSW expected annually by 2050. Without changes, 2 billion tonnes will be dumped or burned, driving pollution and climate change. Meanwhile, plastic production may rise 70% by 2040, yet only 9% of all plastics have ever been recycled. UBQ offers a scalable solution, turning mixed household waste into a raw material for sectors like building & construction, logistics, retail, automotive, and consumer durables. Using landfill-diverted waste, UBQ helps prevent methane, leachate, and air pollution. It’s cost-competitive, compatible with existing processes, equipment and polymers, safe, and meets most performance standards. UBQ is produced using 100% certified renewable energy, with zero water use and no effluents.
