CREATING BIOPLASTIC FROM FOOD WASTE
Bioplastics are produced from renewable resources and can degrade in the environment. They make a far more sustainable solution to petroleum-based plastics, but they are currently too expensive for widespread use.
MetaCycler is creating cost-effective bioplastics. We are focused on integrating waste products into a circular bio-economy to produce a wide range of useful plastic materials.
Microbes are a reservoir of diverse metabolic pathways. By leveraging their abilities to digest agricultural, food, and other waste products, we can build better sustainable bio-based plastics.
