Turning Waste into Innovation
Turn Food into Chips
Turn Food into Chips
The Science
We employ cutting-edge plasma technology to transform carbon-rich food waste into high-quality graphene.
The Research
We have conducted reviews of 300+ papers and found 2 main processes —- detailed in our technical summary: here
How It Works
The Interviews
We have conducted interviews with 100+ professors from 25+ institutions for feasibility and validation of our idea.
The Tests
We have/will collaborate(d) with 3+ labs for six carbon’s novel synthesis process (soon to be released).
Sustainable Sourcing/Advanced Preparation
1
Partner with local businesses to collect carbon-rich food waste (e.g., coffee grounds and vegetable peels)
Waste dried to < 10% moisture and ground to a fine powder (50–100 mesh) for optimal plasma conversion.
Graphene produced is purified and rigorously tested for quality, achieving exceptional conductivity (~ 10^6 S/m) and tensile strength (~ 130 GPa).
It is tailored for advanced applications in microchips, energy storage, and composite materials.
Microwave Plasma Reactor Process
2
Our reactor uses microwave plasma at > 3,000 °C to convert food waste into graphene > 20 seconds.
The nitrogen-purged system ensures precise energy use and yields ~ 2.5 grams of graphene from 50 grams of waste.
High-Performance Graphene for Industry
