ECAN polymers designed to be made, unmade, and remade repeatedly without losing performance.
The science is one thing; the companies turning it into reality are another. This is a searchable map of innovators across the circular-polymer economy, from PHA and PLA producers to advanced recyclers and natural-material pioneers. Some are featured in our PolyMerge series, many more are part of the wider landscape.
PolyMerge is PolyNovel's series exploring next-generation polymers and the people building them, region by region. Two episodes so far, with more US states and global features planned. Subscribe to follow future episodes spanning US and global companies working on these technologies. Watch on YouTube →
Companies working across the circular-polymer economy, searchable by name and filterable by region and technology. Badges show which are featured in PolyMerge, which are lined up for upcoming episodes, and which are part of the wider landscape.
