The bio-platform
for true plastics circularity
Problem Status quo
>90% new plastic still fossil fuel based:
enzymity
Solution True circularity
Closing the loop with biotechnology:
enzymity
Technology Recycling plastic with engineered enzymes (PET example) 1. Produce heterologous enzymes 2. Treat plastic waste with enzymes 3. Recover individual monomers 4. Use monomers to make new plastic Run the cycle [2 → 4] ad infinitum
Commercialization
From plastic waste to plastic precursors
Chemical synthesis Polymerization Manufacturing
Fossil fuels Precursors New plastic End products
Monomer recovery Enzymatic degradation Preprocessing
Separation and purification Breaking down the plastic with Preparing the plastic
of resulting chemicals pre-synthesized enzymes waste stream
Advantages
Creating a new niche in recycling:
Enzymatic Mechanical
Infinitely circular?
Mixed inputs?
Lower emissions?
Sustainability
-1.5t CO2 emissions per tonne of plastic
Enzymatic recycling
0.65tCO2
Virgin plastic / fossil fuel based
2.15tCO2
Differentiation
Unique features vs competition
