Do you recycle at home? ...at the office? ...when you're out and about? What if you could start the actual process of recycling in your kitchen rather than collecting bins of recyclables in the garage / pantry / under the sink / corner of the kitchen? 😩 Even with the best intentions, current home recycling rates are pitiful - 91% of plastics are not recycled. That means only a revolution in the way we approach recycling will be able to solve this challenge. The Lasso from Lasso Loop could well be that revolution, with a technology ‘for every home’ that takes the hassle out of a lot of the problems associated with modern curbside recycling. Join us for this month's #MCXLive as we learn more about the entrepreneurs behind this innovation and the system itself – a truly game changing turnkey answer to a complex and frustrating problem.

Dr. Andrew Dent gives us a glimpse at the highly custom solutions some of our clients are looking for. When a material or technology doesn’t exist or isn’t known, Material ConneXion knows how to make innovation happen.

Dr. Andrew Dent talks about adding circularity into our products: from raw materials, through design and production to use, and not-so-finally, where the product or its parts can go next.

MCX Case Study: Sustainable Packaging
Packaging has a short lifespan as its main purpose is to deliver the product, and afterward, it's usually thrown away. This is why sustainability in packaging is key.
