Hear from startups who have built technologies that reduce, reuse, and recycle carbon to increase sustainability practices.

<p>Carbon plays a role in all functions of life, but also plays a role in climate change and unsustainable materials. How can biotechnology reduce the carbon footprint by reducing CO2 emissions and hydrocarbon waste? Listen to three startup founders explain how their technologies increase the sustainability of carbon manufacturing and processes.</p><p>This event features start-up pitches, a Q&amp;A panel, and breakout rooms for networking with the speakers.</p><h2>Speakers: </h2><h3>Gustaf Hemberg, CEO of <a href="https://scindo.bio/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Scindo</a></h3><p>CONVERTING VINYL PLASTICS INTO HIGH-VALUE COMPOUNDS </p><p>Humans have generated more than 9 billion tons of plastic, and 79% of this has ended up in landfills. Current methodologies are unable to efficiently recycle some of the most commonly produced plastics.</p><p>Scindo is creating a novel biological platform for low-energy, green and economical recycling that turns low-value waste products into high-value compounds, creating a viable alternative to landfills. </p><h3>Johann Quincy Sammy, CEO of <a href="https://www.carbixcorp.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Carbix</a></h3><p>RAPID CO2 SEQUESTRATION / CONCRETE</p><p>Carbix turns our built urban world into sinks for CO2. Their novel bioreactor takes enriched CO2 from power and cement plants and in just hours converts it into cement and aggregates for the $900 billion construction industry, and home and yard goods for consumers looking to support the environment with their purchasing power. This technology enables sequestered CO2 to go into long term storage and high-value goods rather than being injected underground. Carbix can sell state and federal carbon credits as a result of their impact on industrial emissions.</p><h3>Julie Kring, CEO of <a href="https://www.khepra.xyz/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Khepra</a></h3><p>RENEWABLE ENERGY / STORAGE</p><p>Khepra is building reactors to harness the stored chemical energy of our common waste streams, such as plastics and biomass. Their reactor uses frictive heating, cavitation, and acoustic pressure to break the chemical bonds in waste with zero extraction. This releases renewable chemicals and fuels. Ultimately they aim to create a two-way market for wastes and renewables. They’ll also partner with wind and solar energy providers to turn excess daytime energy – currently curtailed – into revenue. </p>
