The cleantech startup UBQ Materials will produce raw material for plastic that will be produced from waste by Israeli residents

The cleantech startup UBQ Materials has signed an agreement with the product giant for the Mainetti fashion market, in the framework of which the company will be provided with an innovative alternative raw material for plastic that will be produced from waste by Israeli residents.
The Mainati Group operates 52 production sites around the world and is a major equipment supplier to the major fashion companies and chains. The company produces billions of hangers a year that reach stores and consumer homes.
The UBQ Materials factory in Kibbutz Tselim operates the first technology of its kind in the world that manages to turn all types of waste, including food scraps and plants, various plastics, cartons and even dirty diapers - into a useful raw material for the automotive industry, pallets, trash cans, shopping carts, pipes, 3D printing and variety.

Thanks to the treatment of waste types that are not currently recycled, every ton of raw material processed in the plant saves carbon emissions and helps companies achieve the goals they are committed to in the field of the environment.

The agreement was signed after lengthy tests conducted at the factories and which proved that the innovative material is suitable in its physical and chemical composition for all needs. It is very easy to underestimate the importance of recycling in the production of hangers, but when you make the multiplications of the enormous quantities used in the fashion industry, you realize the enormous environmental contribution that this has.
