Get inspired by Katarzyna Pokwicka-Croucher, CEO of Ecopolplast sp. z o.o., who shares insights about the mission and circular economy innovation of Ecopolplast and how they work towards achieving their goal: “Our mission is to reinvent the use of recycled materials in manufacturing. With the current annual generation of 400 million tons of plastic waste and 1 billion tyres thrown into landfills, this is a crucial issue to address. We wanted to create a solution that enables to reuse of these discarded materials. And we did it. Our innovative patented technology creates strong bonding of rubber and plastic without chemical additives or stabilisers, which makes Ecoplastomers the first fully circular thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) made with 100% recycled content. This way, we also reduce CO2 emissions resulting from virgin plastomer production by around 65%." Katarzyna Pokwicka- Croucher, thanks for your contribution!
