Antimicrobial plastic products are in increasing demand across healthcare, consumer products, and industrial sectors to reduce the spread of harmful microbes while maintaining material performance. However, conventional antimicrobial additives often rely on pre-formed nanoparticles, which are prone to aggregation and can complicate handling and processing, particularly in thin films, fibres, and transparent components. This technology enables the in-process formation and uniform dispersion of silver (Ag) nanoparticles within thermoplastic resins during standard polymer processing, such as extrusion and injection moulding. By incorporating silver fatty acid salts into the resin formulation, nanosized silver particles are generated during thermal processing and stabilised within the polymer matrix, ensuring consistent dispersion under typical shear and thermal conditions. The resulting silver nanoparticles, with sizes on the order of several tens of nanometres, deliver reliable antimicrobial performance at very low additive loadings (as low as 0.01 wt%), while preserving optical clarity and mechanical properties. Accordingly, this technology is particularly well suited for incorporating antimicrobial agents into thin films and fibres, where optical clarity and defect-free moulding are critical. When used in fibres, it helps prevent filament breakage during melt spinning. A resin-compounded antimicrobial masterbatch based on this technology has already been commercialised in products such as face masks and waste bags, demonstrating scalability and real-world applicability. The technology owner is seeking test bedding and pilot deployment partners in resin processing, polymer manufacturing, and end-product sectors to validate performance, scale production, ensure regulatory compliance, and expand application portfolios. In parallel, dispersion methods for solvent-based systems are under development, and partners in surface coatings and film manufacturing are welcomed for co-development and scale-up opportunities. This technology enables in-process formation and dispersion of silver nanoparticles within thermoplastic resin, such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS), ensuring consistent antimicrobial efficacy without compromising processability and final product quality in terms of transparency and mechanical performance.

Platinum group metals (PGMs) are critical raw materials essential in diverse industries, including automotive catalytic converters, jewelry, glassware, petrochemical refining, electronics, and healthcare sectors like pharmaceuticals and dental implants. Primarily sourced through the mining of PGM ores, they constitute about 70% of the global PGM supply, with South Africa and Russia accounting for 85% of this production. This concentration in supply can lead to price gouging and market monopoly. Recycling PGMs from waste not only mitigates the supply shortfall but also reduces environmental impacts compared to mining. However, conventional recycling methods are energy-intensive, requiring temperatures around 1500°C, and involve costly downstream processing to treat waste. Furthermore, the high processing temperatures result in high-value raw materials being burnt and releasing harmful toxins. The technology owner has developed a novel biorecovery method that incorporates and modifies a series of biochemical and biological processes into a streamlined 3-stage process as opposed to the multi-tiered stages of current conventional methods used in industry. It offers the following advantages over the competition: Energy Efficiency: consumes 6x less energy than traditional methods Cost Effective: 3x cheaper in operation cost High Yield: capable of recovering multiple PGM simultaneously with high yield even from low-grade waste Sustainability: support company decarbonization goals by offering a truly green and sustainable recycling manner for spent catalyst The core process and specifications of the technology are summarised as follows: Statistically-Optimised Ultrasonication: as a key pretreatment step, this sonication method effectively removes all undesirable metals from waste, isolating PGM-rich materials, called the PGM-preconcentrated stream, enhancing the efficiency of subsequent steps. Bioextraction Technique: secondly, utilise a novel and unique bioextraction technique to extract PGMs from waste with high efficiency (i.e., 99% recycling rate per cycle for rhodium (Rh), 92-95% per cycle recycling rate for platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd)). It can be employed at a commercial scale without compromising yield. Bioreduction, Bioaccumulation, and Bioprecipitation: a combination of these improved biological processes are used in the third step to produce PGM into powder form which further undergoes separation and purification to produce high-purity PGM products. This technology is ideal for industries that are interested to recycle their spent catalysts. The potential applications are as follows: Catalyst manufacturers Precious metal recycling companies Electronics and lithium ion battery (LIB) manufacturers Waste management companies Modular design: reduced logistics costs and downtime Lower cost (CAPEX & OPEX) compared to existing technologies Superior recovery rate: even for low-grade wastes  Sustainable and efficient recycling: offer significant step towards decarbonisation in industrial practices Biorecycling, Platinum group metals, Low carbon emission, Decarbonisation, Clean technology, Circular economy Chemicals, Catalysts, Environment, Clean Air & Water, Biological & Chemical Treatment, Waste Management & Recycling, Industrial Waste Management, Sustainability, Circular Economy
