In Israel, UBQ Materials announced that PLANETech World 2022 will be the first global conference to incorporate its new material, UBQ, into temporary building structures.
The global climate tech innovation community will gather in Tel Aviv on September 21, 2022, marking the first time a trade event will reduce the carbon footprint of its own construction by using UBQ’s climate-positive raw material in place of conventional plastic.
UBQ Materials converts unsorted household waste, including all organics, into a post-consumer recycled thermoplastic.
“Typical trade events utilize wooden structures, multicomponent plastics, printed fabric banners, all of which carry a significant environmental footprint and are nearly impossible to efficiently recycle. In partnership with UBQ Materials and thermoplastic sheets manufacturer Palram, elements of PLANETech World’s infrastructure will be composed of Palboard multilayered PVC panels made with UBQ,” the company said.
