Our founding team represents a powerful combination of deep technical expertise and proven entrepreneurial experience. We share a united vision: to tackle the waste crisis with solutions that are not only impactful but also practical and widely adoptable. This vision, combined with our early successes in the field, drives our mission forward.
Founding & leading multiple tech based initiatives including digital media, IoT, NLP, agritech & clean tech. A strong believer in power of tech to plug any inefficiencies in processes & finding problem statements of complex matrices to align for solution mapping.
Sohel brings 20+ years of chemical experience to the team. He specializes in designing innovative chemical processes and has a proven track record of success, including several commercialized solutions. His accomplishments are highlighted by over 100 patents and publications.
Background in consulting with a focus on fintech and commercial banking. Brings expertise in go-to-market strategy, unit economics, and financial modeling; and believes the best opportunities lie in bringing efficiency to traditional markets.
At PolyQor, we believe in the power of partnership to achieve a truly sustainable future. Our collaborations with leading academic institutions, environmental organisations, and industry pioneers are crucial to accelerating our research, scaling our operations, and expanding our global reach. These strategic alliances enable us to leverage diverse expertise and resources, driving innovation and ensuring our solutions address the complex challenges of plastic waste head-on. Together, we are building a more resilient and sustainable planet.
Plastic waste is meticulously collected and sorted to ensure only suitable materials enter our process. This crucial first step guarantees the purity and quality of the raw input for our sustainable materials.
Utilising our patented mix expertise, plastic waste undergoes a unique conversion process. This transforms it into a stable, high-performance polymer base, ready for construction applications.
The converted polymer is then blended with other recycled aggregates and moulded into various construction products, such as bricks, pavers, and panels, ensuring strength and durability.
Every PolyQor product undergoes rigorous quality control and testing to meet industry standards. This guarantees that our sustainable materials are not only eco-friendly but also reliable and safe.
Our finished construction materials are deployed in various infrastructure projects, contributing to reduced carbon footprints and diverting significant plastic waste from landfills and oceans.
PolyQor is more than just a company; it's a movement towards a sustainable future. We invite investors, partners, and customers to join us in our mission to revolutionise the construction industry by transforming plastic waste into valuable resources. Your involvement can help us scale our impact, reduce environmental pollution, and create durable, eco-friendly infrastructure worldwide. Let's build a greener, more resilient world, one recycled product at a time.
