Open Competition Domain Science – XS Grant for Dr. Joshua Valoup

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Joshua Vauloup has been awarded funding for the MC2 project, which promises to be a game-changer in the field. This innovative initiative aims to recycle a previously unrecyclable plastic by combining it with precious metal recovery, a breakthrough that has the potential to transform the industry. This project is going to be amazing! They're going to develop a brand new process that tackles two waste challenges at once. They're going to convert difficult-to-recycle PVC into valuable chemicals while recovering precious platinum from spent industrial catalysts. By combining plastic recycling with critical metal recovery, MC2 has the potential to advance circularity, reduce hazardous emissions, and make better use of valuable resources.
