MacroCycle - MIT delta v Demo Day 2023

Plastics are very useful materials, but their initial value to society becomes a massive burden at their end-of-life. MacroCycle believes that chemistry holds the key to enable fully circular plastics, made without carbon emissions.

Our proprietary process based on the synthesis of cyclic macro- molecules (macrocycles) enables us to produce virgin-grade recycled PET from plastic waste at 80% lower energy use than traditional processes. The remaining 20% can be powered through renewable energy to produce it with zero carbon emissions. Through this, mPET (MacroCycle-PET) resin can be sold so customers can meet upcoming PCR regulations, lower Scope 3 emissions, and eliminate plastic from ending in our oceans or being produced from fossil fuels.
