Addressing the inefficiency and high costs of traditional plastic recycling methods, Plastalyst develops green, safe, and efficient catalysts that enable the recycling of plastics that are typically difficult to recycle. By breaking down plastic waste into monomers at low temperatures, the technology makes the production of new plastics with the same quality as virgin materials financially viable. This innovation supports global efforts to reduce plastic waste pollution and promotes more sustainable recycling practices
Dr. Diaa Hamed Abdelshafy Abdelsalam is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Kyoto Institute of Technology in Materials Chemistry and at the International Advanced Energy Science Research and Education Center (IAESREC), Graduate School of Energy Science, Kyoto University. With a background in Chemical Engineering, he is also a Materials Scientist and Engineer at AC Biode. Dr. Abdelshafy’s research spans nanomaterials, biopolymers, conductive inks, and renewable energy, with a focus on catalytic conversion of plastic waste into sustainable fuels. His work has been widely published in academic journals, reflecting his expertise in both academic and industrial applications of material science. more
