About

Cecilia is a 3x NASA-funded start-up addressing the plastic waste crisis by commercializing a modular microwave-based system that upcycles plastic waste into clean hydrogen and performance carbon, specifically carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This innovative electricity-powered process is highly energy-efficient and can achieve a carbon-neutral profile with renewable grid electrification. By integrating waste plastic processing and hydrogen production, Cecilia’s technology offers a scalable, economically viable solution to reduce plastic waste and produce clean energy, tackling both environmental and economic challenges.
