Encina Development Group’s (Encina) President of Technology and
Engineering Carlo Badiola shared perspectives on current solutions
to advance sustainability and enable decarbonization at the
University of Houston’s TIEEP Forum held on Wednesday. The
presentation, "Innovative Solutions for a Circular Economy:
Navigating Decarbonization and Sustainability Challenges," was
given to members of the South Texas chapter of the American
Institute of Chemical Engineers and students from the University of
Houston’s Cullen College of Engineering.
Badiola joined other industry experts who shared perspectives
and progress on the journey to energy transition. Badiola’s
discussion centered on the premise that the challenges of
decarbonization, sustainability, and waste management must be
addressed concurrently and can best be achieved by focusing on
circularity solutions that address multiple industries, markets,
and applications. Key areas of discussion included a look at the
current landscape of major emissions contributors; an introduction
to the various forms of recycling as a complementary pathway to
circularity; and a discussion about the role society can play
alongside industry to enable a faster energy transition.
The presentation also highlighted Encina’s advanced recycling
technology as a context-specific solution to address the
intertwined goals of decarbonization and circularity. The company’s
single-step catalytic conversion process creates drop-in quality
circular chemicals derived from end-of-life plastics otherwise
bound for landfills or incineration. The technology breaks waste
plastics down to the molecular level reducing the amount of fossil
feedstocks required to create high-value, industrial grade circular
chemicals. Encina’s global manufacturing customers use these
materials to meet their renewable content goals, enabling the
manufacture of, use of, and reuse of plastics in industries such as
consumer goods, packaging, pharmaceuticals, and construction.
