Brown was featured on Forbes magazine as the founder of Naturejab, a company that makes natural products, and as 'an innovator in the use of microwave pyrolysis of plastic waste.'
When asked about his motivation for creating the technology, Brown said: "It made me so upset that even though we are told that we are recycling, plastic is clearly ending up in the oceans and landfills where it is affecting so many lives, including our own."
