In contrast, we’ve built a low-cost solution that emulates large-scale results and commercial-scale economics without the need for hundreds of acres or hundreds of millions of dollars. With just one module, we will show what’s possible with 100 modules or more—a low-risk, high-return equation with near-term commercial impact.

Is it bloated, full of boilerplate and waste—the stuff you do solely because that was the way you always did it? And if the research doesn’t pan out, you’ll save yourself the resources you would otherwise have wasted on dead-end development. Does it really satisfy present-day business needs? Does it still make sense?

For example, plastics have been a low-cost, versatile and durable option for vehicle interiors since the mid-20 th century. Replacing these traditional methods with low-impact alternatives is no easy task though. It was a big challenge and a long development process to take this waste material into proper upcycling.’
