Innovation is at the core of what we do, challenging traditional processes and combining nano-technology in industrial uses.
Both of our innovations are disruptive and proprietary technologies solving a growing and complex industry, social and environmental problem.
Enzymatic De-polymerization
A proprietary enzymatic complex, fully developed and grown in-house, that has a depolymerization effect on multiple types of plastics, causing a change from hydrophobic to hydrophilic property. This is accomplished with the presence - in the enzyme complex – of a supra-family enzyme, allowing substrate binding pockets and adhesion of specific enzymes to the polymer surface.
This surface lysis of the polymer allows the release of certain molecules, increasing the efficiency in the biodegradation of plastics.
The fractions of interest are defined as those that provide degradation, activity with changes in pH, increase in kinetics, or other.
The Enzymatic De-polymerization process is done at Room Temperature, not surpassing 35°C (95°F).
The enzymatic process is a “Decomposition Technology”, and has proven successful for PET, with Ethylene Glycol and Terephthalic Acid as resulting compounds.
Gravimetric deposition
Centrifuge
Resulting end-products are Monomers/Oligomers and Compounds. Flake color is also degraded
A proprietary enzymatic complex that has a depolymerization effect on multiple types of plastics: ABS/WEEE in this example. Done at room temperature and no solvent pre-treatment needed.
Advanced bio-polymers
We take organic waste or non-food crops as carbon sources to produce PLA.
Polylactic acid, also known as PLA, an environmentally friendly thermoplastic monomer derived from renewable, biomass resources and organic waste streams.
