What environmental and economic problem does unrecycled polyurethane foam present, and how is Thaal Innovations solving it?
Description
Polyurethane, the sixth most used polymer, is currently incinerated rather than recycled, releasing toxic isocyanates and potentially contributing to a projected 60% rise in cancer cases by 2030. Thaal Innovations solves this by recovering 80–90% of polyurethane waste and converting it back into reusable raw material, targeting a $70 billion global market while operating from their Chennai facility with 2 crore in initial funding.
