(1). the problem
Plastic is deeply integrated into modern life, but it is difficult to recycle with today’s technology.
Plastic production continues to surge. If current trends continue, the world will accumulate enough plastic waste to cover the state of Texas by 2050. Plastic waste is quickly reaching crisis levels, adversely impacting planetary and human health.
Global plastic production and projections: 1950 to 2060
Annual production of polymer resin and fibers. Projections assume that current policies continue for the foreseeable future.

Our Circular Innovation
Cecilia's innovative process converts plastic waste into high-value materials, driving sustainability on Earth and in space. Our cutting-edge technology is reshaping the future of the circular economy .
Plastic Waste Conversion
Our technology converts plastic into two valuable resources: hydrogen and carbon. While hydrogen is a useful clean energy byproduct, our core innovation lies in our advanced carbon materials.
Advanced Carbon Materials
We create high-performance carbon with exceptional strength, conductivity, and heat absorption. Unlike conventional carbon made from natural gas, our circular carbon reduces resource extraction and minimizes emissions. Our energy-efficient process is powered by electricity and can achieve carbon neutrality with renewable grid electrification.
A New Frontier in Space Solutions
Backed by NASA, Cecilia's technology is designed for efficient resource use in space. As NASA plans for long-duration missions, minimizing and recycling waste is critical. Cecilia is a part of NASA's Moon to Mars program, breaking down the barriers to a new frontier in space exploration.
Global Recycling Innovation
Solving resource utilization in space translates to more efficient recycling on Earth. Cecilia's next-gen commercial reactor will process two tons of plastic waste per day, offering co-located modular solutions for industrial sites worldwide and beyond.
Paving the Way to Full Circularity
Our vision doesn’t stop at recycling plastic waste — we’re engineering advanced materials with improved recyclability at end of life, creating a truly circular system that keeps plastic out of landfills and oceans.
(3). carbon nanotubes
Revolutionizing Advanced Materials
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are renowned for their strength, light weight, and conductivity. Even in small amounts, CNTs enhance industrial materials, cutting costs, boosting performance, and advancing sustainability in aerospace, electronics, and automotive sectors. From fuel-efficient vehicles to advanced electronics, CNTs drive innovation in material science.
