There is no waste,
only untapped resources.
Join us in building a sustainable future where waste fuels possibilities.


Turning Waste Into New Beginnings
Learn More
Our future cannot rely on incinerators or landfills. We see a future with our chemistry that recognises value where others see waste. We aim to empower the builders of this world today with hardware that untaps the value from waste. That’s why we don’t just clean up pollution, we work to redefine the role of chemistry in a sustainable economy. Through science, collaboration, and scalable design, Protonera is building infrastructure for a world where nothing goes to waste, and everything goes forward.

Pioneering sustainable chemistry to turn plastic waste into hydrogen and more. Born at the University of Cambridge, built for the world.

Chemoenzymatic Reforming: Innovation for a Cleaner World
At the heart of Protonera is a simple idea with powerful implications: waste can be converted cleanly, efficiently, and profitably—without high heat or pressure.
From post-consumer plastics to synthetic textiles, Protonera’s CR systems are built to tolerate
real-world contamination and high-purity products.

Become a Part of the Solution
At Protonera, we’re not just building cleaner energy—we’re building a cleaner future.
We’re growing our community of thinkers, builders, and changemakers who believe waste can fuel the world.
Let’s reimagine what’s possible—together.
Protonera was founded at the University of Cambridge with a bold idea: to replace linear waste treatment with circular chemistry. Using our patented chemoenzymatic reforming (CR) technologies, we extract hydrogen and chemical building blocks from synthetic waste streams — even when they’re mixed, contaminated,
or previously un-recyclable.
