Category: Fuels
In Texas, Waste Management has awarded its annual $100,000 Think Green prize in the Rice University Business Plan Competition to Mimas, an Illinois-based start-up that develops advanced nanomaterials from plastic waste. Mimas manufactures a suite of low-cost, high performance particles and carbon nanotubes using everyday post-consumer plastic waste, like the plastic bags you find in the grocery store, as feedstock.
Mimas’ manufacturing process produces significant environmental benefit by consuming post-consumer plastic waste, diverting plastic from landfills.
