BioCellection,whose founder is Miranda Wang, has managed to invent a $ 5 million technology that breaks down plastics into chemical building blocks, upcycling them into higher value materials for manufacturing.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old girl \u2013 the winner of the\u00a0United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) Young Champions of the Earth<\/a>\u00a0prize in 2018 – believed in the importance of developing a plastic waste recycling technology in order to get rid of the killing plastic waste.<\/p>\n

It is estimated that over 100 million marine animals are killed each year by plastic waste at the international level.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlobally, only 9 percent of plastics produced are actually recycled. That\u2019s because as a society, we lack recycling technologies that can make virgin-quality products from plastic waste,\u201d Wang said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy project is a social impact startup developing and scaling up a new technology to recycle unrecyclable plastics. Over the past year, the project has snowballed, and we are seeing massive interest in this area,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The first engineering drawings for the technology scale-up have been completed, and multiple materials from the resulting purified compounds from breaking down plastics have been tested.<\/p>\n

The company has already completed two thirds of a pilot program to test the technology at scale with the City of San Jos\u00e9, California, United States, and other tests have already been completed with Google among others.<\/p>\n

The team has expanded, with eight new hires instead of the projected four, winning grants and prizes including the Rolex Awards for Enterprise, Pritzker Environmental Genius Award and MIT Solve.<\/p>\n
