Re:Lab AB presents an innovative solution to a pressing problem within the scientific community: the management of plastic waste from laboratories. Annually, around 5 megatons of laboratory consumable plastics go un-recycled, often ending up incinerated or in landfills, exacerbating the global plastic crisis.
With their bold slogan, "WELCOME TO RE:LAB CIRCULAR SOLUTION FOR RESEARCH LABORATORY PLASTICS", Re:Lab aims to tackle this environmental challenge by converting laboratory plastic waste into hydrogen and renewable plastic monomers through high purity syngas. Their approach not only aligns with circular economy principles but also promises significant reductions in carbon emissions.
Re:Lab enhances their value proposition by providing carbon emission reduction certification, end-use certification, and reverse logistics services for laboratory plastic waste. Based in Sweden, the company offers a potentially lucrative venture through its Gasification as a Service (GaaS) model, producing renewable technical gases crucial for chemical processes such as hydrogen and CO for methanol synthesis.
