The UBQ proprietary process transforms Residual Municipal Solid Waste (organic and hard-to-recycle materials), destined to landfills, into innovative bio-based UBQ Material, that can be used to make everyday long-lasting products. UBQ's material can be used in current manufacturing processes and is already adopted across sectors (building and construction, consumer durables, logistics and supply chain, retailer environments, and automotive) to substitute oil-based resins. It is compatible with most polymers: polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyolefins and elastomers, making it a great material for injection molding. There is also an alternative for low-flow extrusion.
