Founder, CEO, Sixone Labs Ltd.
Blended plastics, which constitute over 90% of plastic products worldwide, are notoriously difficult to recycle, and so are typically discarded in landfills due to the lack of a viable solution for handling their diverse and uncontrolled impurities. Enter Christopher and Sixone Labs: The team has successfully demonstrated the viability of their technology, taking end of use textiles and converting them to circularly recycled plastic pellets that could be utilized by brands and manufacturers on par with virgin pellets. A major workwear company and a global textile manufacturer have proven the solution, and are embarking on a strategic partnership to pave the way for reducing textile waste and tackle broader plastic waste at scale.
