5.7 billion metric tons of discarded plastic have never been recycled

So, we're changing the way we recycle

Bio-Optimized Technologies to keep Thermoplastics out of Landfills and the Environment (BOTTLE™) is a U.S. Department of Energy multi-organization consortium focused on developing new chemical upcycling strategies for today's plastics and redesigning tomorrow's plastics to be recyclable-by-design.

Join us in transforming plastic pollution

There is a critical need for new technology on plastics recycling and upcycling. Join BOTTLE to spur innovation in early-stage R&D to incentivize waste plastics reclamation and "close the loop" on plastics recycling. The consortium seeks to work with companies and other research organizations to combine talents and capabilities from the public and private sectors.
