PolyGone Systems

Welcome Jeremy Kim to the PolyGone team! 🧪

Jeremy joins us as our new microplastic lab analyst, supporting microplastic collection and water sample analysis using fluorescence microscopy, FTIR, and Pyrolysis GC/MS, providing detailed data on microplastic count, size, morphology, and composition. He also supports the development and improvement of our microplastic filter design. Swipe to see our lab in action! 👀

Jeremy earned both his B.A. and M.A. from Wesleyan University, where he conducted research on the synthesis of strained molecules to investigate novel polymers with new properties, aiming to advance more sustainable and renewable materials. With hands-on experience in a polymer chemistry lab, Jeremy brings strong analytical and technical expertise to his work in environmental sustainability. ♻️

As PolyGone continues to grow our team, we look forward to more people joining us in building a world where water is free from microplastic contamination! 🌊

Recycling is messy and complicated, but proved to us it's far from impossible. ♻️

Last week, Polygone got the chance to visit their HQ and left genuinely inspired. TerraCycle is a fellow New Jersey-based environmental company doing really cool things, and walking through their space, you start to see just how much of what we throw away actually has a second life.

Cigarette butts. Old sneakers. Everyday packaging. They're building the processes to handle it all at scale. Their Loop platform is already getting reusable and recyclable packaging onto shelves for brands people shop every day. Even the building itself (see the pictures 👀) tells the story of how they think!

We're taking a lot back with us as we build out waste-handling pipelines for the microplastics we collect. Grateful for the tour and the conversation! Let’s continue working together towards a waste-free world. ✨🌎
