How to recycle CO2 into your things | Made of pollution

Billions of tons of CO2 are released into the world every year. How will 1 billion tons of CO2 be removed by 2025 to meet climate goals?
Can CO2 be recycled into your furniture? How to recycle CO2 into your things?
Let’s meet with researchers in this video to discover how to capture and use carbon, called Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU).
0:10 Introduction

Imagine a future where everything you use, from your soap to your vodka to your engagement ring, is created from emissions. In actuality, it could not be that far off.
Companies like those in Germany make a living by converting harmful CO2 emissions into a substance that is used in almost everything, including mattresses, medical equipment, socks, footwear, cars, chairs, phone cases, insulation, and floors.
How does recycled carbon appear, then? Since many years ago, there has been true carbon capture.
The oil companies were actually the ones using the captured emissions to add CO2 to oil wells in the 1970s to improve oil recovery.
So what actual uses are there for recycled carbon?
1:10 Carbon is in almost everything.
Susan is highly enthusiastic about CCU and works as a program manager for the Global CO2 Initiative at the University of Michigan.
If I visit a clothing store, the majority of the clothing there is made from synthetic materials, and it is all produced using fossil fuels.
Use this mattress as an illustration. Polyurethane foam is used to make the majority of these. The bed seems straightforward.
1:30 Polymers
Christophe Gutler. He creates goods like Covestro and is the expert on foam among everyone you know. So, all you have is a substantial block of 10–20 kg polyethylene foam.
Through this procedure, recycled carbon dioxide can take the place of up to 20% of fossil fuels. Every year, more than 30 million mattresses are discarded throughout Europe. That stack of pillows would be 678 times taller than Mount Everest if they were all stacked together.
The process of converting CO2 into polymers and fuels typically requires more energy than other applications. This is only possible with green energy. The fundamental issue is that we lack sufficient green energy to manufacture green chemicals, green steel, etc.
3:30 Cement
8% of the carbon dioxide emissions in the world come from cement alone. Chemical constraints prevent cement production without CO2 emissions.
Chris, he started a business that uses steel flags, a byproduct of the steel industry, in place of cement to create concrete that is carbon negative.
By injecting CO2 into a chamber, where it reacts with a steel flag and transforms it into stable calcium carbonate, he developed a patent in collaboration with experts at McGill University.
