Agroplast All-in-One

Plastic from pig pee

Agroplast All-in-One main

Agroplast makes urea, a chemical for plastics, that’s identical to millions of tons sold every year. The one difference: This urea comes from pig urine instead of fossil fuels. The All-in-One collector sits under grates in farms, robotically strains out the urine before it turns into stinky ammonia, and filters out urea. Equipping pens nationwide could meet all the U.S.’s urea needs. agroplast.info
