In The News | The equivalent to taking nearly 1 million cars off the road. The OECD estimates that greenhouse gas emissions from plastics will more than double between 2019 and 2060. Akron's Sustainable Polymers Tech Hub aims to slow the trajectory of those emissions from oil-based plastics, resulting in an overall reduction of 3.9M tons of carbon emissions per year. The hub was made possible by the CHIPS and Science Act, which poured billions of dollars across the country to spur tech manufacturing and innovation.
