Breaking Plastics into Bio-Mass: With Camilo Ferro of Raws

About this episode

Camilo Ferro discusses Raws' technology for breaking down non-recyclable plastics into biomass.

What do we do with plastics that cannot be recycled due to their application (ie diapers, small formats, etc.)? Raws has a technology that aims to break down these products at end-of-life. In this episode of the Redefining Plastics Podcast, host Justin Riney speaks with Camilo Ferro of Raws about innovative technology aimed at making plastics fully biodegradable. Camilo outlines their patented technology, which transforms plastics back to biomass without leaving microplastics. They discuss the benefits, applications, and testing behind this groundbreaking approach, along with addressing common skepticism and explaining how their solution is both environmentally beneficial and scalable. Camilo also shares his journey from composting to tackling the plastic waste problem and encourages companies to consider this sustainable approach.
