About BioCellection
We invent technologies to transform unrecyclable plastics into virgin-quality performance materials for a circular economy.
BioCellection has developed an advanced chemical recycling technology to turn polyethylene waste, such as garbage bags, bubble wrap, and shrink wrap, into chemical intermediates that make higher value, longer lasting performance materials for car parts, coatings, apparel, and more.
We make the world better by preventing plastic pollution and reducing petroleum dependence. Currently, we have a research lab and office in Menlo Park and expect to transition into an industrial facility next summer when we scale the technology to a demonstration size.
Our team is progressive, collaborative, relentless, and future-oriented. Join us on our mission to turn the plastic pollution crisis into an even bigger business opportunity – see our video.
