Radical Dot, a Munich-based startup specializing in chemical recycling technology, has raised €2.7 million in a pre-seed funding round to further its mission of transforming plastic waste into valuable chemicals. Founded by Alexandre Kremer, who has extensive experience in waste management, the company aims to build a continuously operated prototype at the Technical University of Munich. This funding round was led by UVC Partners and Visionaries Tomorrow, indicating strong investor confidence in their unique technology that supports sustainable practices in the chemical industry and addresses plastic pollution challenges.
Having witnessed the devastating impacts of plastic pollution firsthand while building waste management infrastructure in Indonesia as part of Project STOP, I have dedicated my career to transforming plastic waste from a societal burden into a valuable resource that drives a sustainable economy.
Radical Dot addresses a critical market need by turning plastic waste into green carboxylic acids. As industries shift toward sustainable solutions, the demand for green chemicals has never been greater.
Unlike most other plastic recycling technologies, which are energy-intensive and often limited to processing very clean plastics or a single specific polymer, Radical Dot's unique technology enables the upcycling of mixed plastic waste into valuable chemicals with favorable process economics.
This is more than an economic opportunity-it's a chance to drive global change by reducing plastic waste and creating a more sustainable future for the chemical industry.
