UBQ Materials is an Israeli materials technology company that converts unsorted household waste, including organics, into UBQ, a bio-based thermoplastic. The company’s patented process creates a polymeric material that can be compounded with conventional resins and processed using standard plastics manufacturing methods. UBQ targets applications across automotive components, logistics and packaging items, consumer goods, and building products.
Positioned within the circular economy, UBQ Materials aims to divert waste from landfills and incineration by turning mixed municipal solid waste into a usable raw material. The company reports life-cycle assessment results indicating significant greenhouse gas reductions when UBQ replaces fossil-based plastics. UBQ has been adopted in pilot and commercial programs with major brands and supply chain partners, and the company is expanding production capacity and R&D to support broader industrial use.
