In a world increasingly burdened by plastic waste and strained supply chains, one scientist is turning a global problem into a powerful solution. Dr. Zhang, a passionate chemist and visionary leader, is at the forefront of industrial sustainability as the Chief Technology Officer of Wempyre, a Berlin-based cleantech company that is changing how industries view waste.
With a PhD in chemical engineering and a sharp focus on heterogeneous catalysis, reactor design, and process efficiency, Dr. Zhang is leading the charge in the development of decentralized pyrolysis systems—modular, onsite solutions that convert plastic waste into valuable industrial feedstocks. The goal? To reframe waste as a high-value resource, reduce dependency on virgin materials, and create closed-loop material ecosystems for manufacturers.
🔥 Onsite Pyrolysis: From Plastic Waste to Industry Feedstock
Wempyre’s decentralized approach is a game-changer. Instead of sending waste to remote facilities, their system enables businesses to process plastic waste at the source—cutting down on logistics, emissions, and overall waste handling costs. The recovered feedstock can be directly re-integrated into the client’s own production, supporting cost reduction, carbon footprint minimization, and resource conservation.
This approach aligns perfectly with circular economy principles, providing industries with a sustainable, economically viable alternative to traditional waste disposal and raw material sourcing.
“Our mission is to make plastic waste too valuable to throw away,” says Dr. Zhang. “By embedding circular technologies directly into industrial workflows, we’re making waste management smarter, cleaner, and economically attractive.”
🧠 From Science to Strategy
Dr. Zhang’s rare ability to bridge scientific innovation with strategic consulting allows her to drive not just technological change, but cultural change within industry. Her work helps companies not only comply with environmental regulations, but turn sustainability into a competitive advantage.
Wempyre’s team combines deep expertise in pyrolysis, engineering, and clean manufacturing to help companies across sectors—including automotive, packaging, and logistics—transform how they manage and reuse their plastic waste.
