Giving waste new life as something beautiful, useful and durable

What is UBQ Evolved Materials™ made of?

Most materials start with extraction. UBQ™ starts with a garbage truck. Chicken bones, greasy pizza boxes, food scraps, garden trimmings, diapers, multilayer packaging – the mixed household waste that has nowhere left to go. Through UBQ Materials’ patented process, these discarded inputs are transformed into UBQ™, a bio-based thermoplastic composite that replaces oil-based plastic in thousands of products.

Comparison

UBQ Evolved Materials™ vs. traditional oil-based plastics

How UBQ Materials' bio-based thermoplastic composite made from waste compares to conventional plastics across the metrics that matter most.

Bio-based thermoplastic composite

Oil-based thermoplastic polymer

Made from mixed household waste

Made from petroleum and natural gas

Climate-positive material that removes carbon emissions and keeps greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere

Climate harmful due to emissions from extraction  and production

Stable, cost-competitive pricing 

Price volatility linked to oil markets  

Protects natural resources by using waste otherwise destined for landfill or incineration 

 Relies on continuous extraction of finite resources  

Reduces pollution by diverting waste from landfills  and incineration 

Contributes to plastic and water pollution 

Production requires no added water and generates  no emissions or combustion

Production requires significant water use and generates emissions and effluents

The Science

How waste becomes a high quality, cost competitive material

UBQ Evolved Materials™ patented process converts mixed household waste (including organics and hard-to-recycle materials) into a high quality thermoplastic composite. The result is a single, fully replicable material that performs consistently at commercial scale.

Dry & screen

Mixed household waste comes in and is dried and screened to maximize sorting efficiencies.

Sort & remove

Waste is then sorted to remove metals and minerals which are then properly recycled.

Break down & build

Our patented process breaks down the organics into their basic building blocks. This creates the natural stickiness, which is the matrix that binds all of the components together, even those that aren't chemically compatible.
