Our solid knowledge in catalysis combined with the understanding of plastic compositions at the molecular level allow us to develop the green technologies of the future.

We are developing a technology for converting plastic into methane, in which mixed and unsorted plastics can be transformed into methane compatible with the grid.

Plastogaz is an EPFL spin-off based in Lausanne, founded in 2020.

Vision

Plastic is an essential material in our society. Its excellent properties make it a material of choice in numerous applications. Unfortunately, the consumption of plastic inevitably leads to waste that cannot be recycled without high-tech catalytic solutions. Currently, plastic waste is considered a burden, when it should be considered a value. Our team aims to restore the reputation of plastic by making its end of life clean, safe and sustainable.
