"International Founders with an American Dream" Last week at TEDxBoston Planet Action, our co-founder & CTO Jan-Georg Rosenboom was invited to give an update after 2 years when his TEDx talk on MacroCycle's technology first aired (link below). And what a journey it's been: there was no lab or pilot reactor, no formal company, no patent, no non-academic employees, only two "international founders with an American Dream". Now MacroCycle has all of the above, and it's been exciting to share the progress we've made. We will keep you all updated here as usual. More to come! A big THANK YOU to the team at TEDxBoston and the many invaluable connections we have made through this network of inspiring change makers: John Werner, Davey B, Robert Chmielinski, Vanessa Z Chan, Alison Sander, Maria Ivanova, Dwight Poler, Tod Hynes, Sean DeWitt, Jean Oelwang #TEDx #recycling #macrocycling #circularplastics original TEDx talk: https://lnkd.in/eWh4ypAA

🌍Happy National Recycling day! ♻️   On this day, MacroCycle is thrilled to announce its first shipment of upcycled product to a commercial customer for testing and full circularity evaluation!   Going from lab into “reality” is a critical milestone of ClimateTech entrepreneurship. This small batch is the beginning of scaling into much larger test batches as we continue to work with a number of high-profile customers that are excited about our product. We are excited to continue developing the lowest-carbon, highest-quality PET from currently unusable plastic wastes together with our commercial partners. This batch was prepared from a lower-value PET waste considered a contaminant in existing bottle waste streams given the degraded polymer chains and impurities of the material. Congrats to our R&D team members of Jan-Georg Rosenboom, Thanaphorn Feinberg, PharmD, MS and Andrés A. Granados Fócil for this great accomplishment.   Stay tuned for more exciting tech updates in 2025!  #Recycling #upcycling #climatetech
