Brief Innovation
EcoTech has developed a groundbreaking technology that turns many kinds of plastic waste into novel, high-value aerogel
materials for billion-dollar markets, such as heat and sound
insulation, high-temperature garments and oil spill clean up.
A pilot has been launched in Singapore with the capacity to
manufacture 250,000 m2 per year of aerogels from various
wastes, including plastic, paper, textiles, rubber and agricultural
waste).
