Rarosue Amaraibi

Rarosue Amaraibi is a Researcher in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), working within the Catalytic Carbon Transformation and Scale-Up Center. Her research focuses on sustainable and scalable recycling technologies for plastics, particularly through projects with the BOTTLE consortium and the U.S. Department of Energy Vehicle Technologies Office.

Her educational background includes:

• PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of South Florida
• Master's in Global Sustainability from the University of South Florida

Amaraibi's research interests center on plastic recycling and sustainable materials development. She is actively involved in upcycling single-use multilayer plastic films and improving the recyclability of advanced materials used in vehicle manufacturing, with a focus on polymer science and chemical engineering applications. Her work in bioenergy further supports the development of sustainable technologies.

She is currently engaged in two major projects: the methanolysis of polyethylene terephthalate under the BOTTLE consortium and the development of recyclable reinforced fiber polymers for the automotive industry, both of which are critical for advancing a circular economy in materials science.

Amaraibi maintains active scholarly profiles on Google Scholar and ResearchGate, reflecting her commitment to scientific communication and collaboration.
