plastic waste end
We employ nature & latest technology to address the pilling up problem of plastic waste. We believe that using natural solutions will safeguard our planet for future generations.
Plastic is piling up
Recycling is not working
Less than 10% of plastic is recycled globally, and roughly 12.7 million tons of plastic enters the ocean each year. Rest is incinerated or goes to landfill.
End of life plastic
10b+ tonnes
By 20250 there will be over 10b tonnes of end of life plastic either mismanaged, incinerated or landfilled. By then, global population will reach 9.7 billion, producing over double the current amount of plastic waste - 400+ million tonnes annually.
Single use plastic
Polyethylene
Over 40% of global plastic waste comes from plastic packaging, predominantly composed of polyethylene polymer. Moreover, 85% of single-use products end up in landfills or become unregulated waste. Polyethylene polymer is either incinerated, releasing CO2, or discarded in landfills, from where it eventually contaminates the environment.
Our solution
Turning plastic into valuable products with fungal enzymes
Recent studies confirmed that polyethylene polymer can be degraded with several different strains of mushrooms
