RYT Biotechnology develops recycling technology for hard-to-recycle plastics, with a particular focus on polystyrene. Its biocatalytic depolymerization process converts polystyrene waste into virgin-grade styrene monomer, addressing a material that is rarely recycled and can persist for centuries.
PolyKinetix IncPolyKinetix Inc designs, builds, operates, and licenses continuous chemical-recycling technology that converts non-recyclable plastics and end-of-life tires into petrochemical and lubricant precursors. The second-generation recycling company is also expanding polystyrene recycling operations, including recycled construction-grade EPS foam panels made in Massillon, Ohio. Its modular, scalable systems are intended to provide an alternative to landfilling, burning, and open dumping while returning waste materials to established markets.CANTON, OH
