We’ve developed a proven method to transform bioplastics into a valuable resource, while minimising waste and environmental impact.
Our approach to tackle the increase in bioplastic waste is to treat and valorise bioplastic fractions in the waste settings where they currently occur. The specificity of our enzyme technologies allows us to selectively convert bioplastic fractions in organic waste or traditional plastic recycling streams to high-value fuels and chemicals. This circumvents separate collection and sorting requirements for bioplastics. Ultimately, allowing us to penetrate the market while bioplastic waste levels remain relatively low.
Once bioplastics reach levels that justify separate collection, sorting and recycling, Urobo Biotech will be ready to deploy its recycling technology as dedicated bioplastic recycling facilities.
