Upcycled Materials
Upcycling turns things that would otherwise be thrown away into useful products. MEER integrates upcycled structural elements into its cooling systems to cut waste and lower cost.
Scientific detail
Upcycling redirects end-of-life or off-spec materials into new applications at equal or higher functional value, reducing virgin-material demand and embodied emissions. MEER designs incorporate upcycled framing and fixings alongside recyclable PET, aligning cooling deployment with circular-economy principles.
