Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we talk with Ian Bishop, CEO and co-founder of Elemental Recycling, about how the company is rethinking recycling by converting plastics and tires into hydrogen and graphite/graphene through a patented single-step process. Ian shares how a small breakthrough with a PhD chemist unlocked a major innovation, how a culture of tinkering shaped the company’s approach, and why mass-producing graphene could be a game changer. We also discuss new ways to monetize waste streams, the broader impact this technology could have on global recycling, why Houston and the Ion District in particular, is fertile ground for entrepreneurs, and the core fundamentals every founder needs to learn.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.
