The plastics recycling company MBA Polymers has been named the winner in the “Young Global Leaders Award for Circular Economy SME” category of the Circulars Awards, which were held during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January 2017.
Additionally, MBA Polymers, headquartered in the U.K., with operations in Austria and China, was selected by the audience for The Davos Prize as the overall winner in all categories as “The Most Impactful and Innovative Circular Economy Story from the Evening.”
MBA Polymers has developed a solution to upcycle complex plastic scrap streams into high-quality products that can then be reused or repurposed.
The Circulars are an initiative of the World Economic Forum and the Forum of Young Global Leaders. Candidates for the awards are leading the way in driving innovation and growth that is decoupled from the use of scarce natural resources, the organizations say.
