Disrupting Bioplastics Production

BIOPLASTIX

Our mission is to turn bioplastics
production into a big business.

The opportunity is enormous, and the time is now.

The challenge we are addressing:

Competing with traditional plastic costs

Improving thermoplastic properties

Expanding biodegradability

Currently, bioplastics represent only 1% of the global plastics market. Scaling up production is both a major business opportunity and a critical step towards sustainability.

We leverage an in silico – in vivo optimization approach to engineer E. coli bacteria, enabling them to intracellularly produce high-performance biopolymers.

Integrating artificial intelligence, enzyme optimization, and precision fermentation.

Our technology

What makes us different?

Feedstock accounts for 50% of total production costs. Our bacteria excel at consuming agro-industrial waste, significantly reducing raw material expenses.

Low-cost Feedstocks

Our bacteria thrive in low-cost fermentation media while achieving exceptionally high biopolymer yields.

Optimized Fermentation

Purification, which represents around 30% of production costs, is streamlined by optimizing bacterial metabolic pathways, reducing impurities, and simplifying downstream processing.

Optimized Purification

Our technology enables precise monomer ratio adjustments, allowing us to produce PLA and PHB based bioplastics with customized properties to meet diverse industry needs.

Tailored Bioplastics

Our Business Model

We serve as a technology partner for petrochemical companies, agribusinesses, and consumer goods manufacturers, facilitating the installation of cutting-edge bioplastic production plants.

We offer a comprehensive technology package tailored to specific industry needs, including:

Custom microbial strains optimized for various feedstocks.

Tailored biopolymer formulations designed to meet end-use performance requirements.

Optimized bioprocesses.
