Enzymes: The Core of Our Technology
The Science Behind Enzymatic Recycling
Our technology is built on a foundation of advanced enzyme engineering. We identify enzymes that break down plastic, then engineer them to function as high-performance “molecular scissors” using artificial intelligence and next generation enzyme screening technologies. These enzymes are used as part of a sustainable plastic recycling process that recovers chemical monomers and reuses them as part of an infinite plastic recycling process that will eliminate our need to manufacture plastics from fossil fuels.
Why Enzymes?
High Quality
Resin
100% recycled PET resin with the same performance properties as virgin resin produced from fossil fuels. Enables infinite plastic recycling.
Improved Process Economics
Cost of enzymatically recycled PET resin is equivalent to virgin PET. Premium quality, circular resin enables premium pricing.
GHG Emissions
Emissions reduced by >70% using low temperature enzyme technology and green chemistry.
Small Footprint Plants
Low emission, economical small scale commercial plants with lower permitting requirements.
