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 Approach
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.
