Bryan Ng has recently finished his DPhil in Inorganic Chemistry and has founded Repolywise to transform waste plastics into new plastics. The startup uses a novel technology to degrade plastics atomically back into their starting materials, a venture that he exhibited at the 2024 #StartedinOxford Demo Night.
What is your background? What made you decide to become an entrepreneur?
I have been enthusiastic about chemistry since secondary school. Having completed my undergraduate in Oxford I joined a catalysis research group. I saw the commercial potential of one of my projects to complete the puzzle for a circular economy for plastics, and so decided to become an entrepreneur to bring this technology to life.
The ability to build something aiming to satisfy the market need.
