Circularity may be a buzz word – but for us, it’s a technical term. Our Biopure process achieves true circularity with plastic production and end-of-life waste.

We are on a mission to decarbonize plastic, starting with polyester. As Harvard Business Review Kenneth Pucker writes, there are significant environmental problems associated with polyester’s production, disposal and method of recycling.

In 2022, the world produced an estimated 460 million tons of plastic – and only 9% was recycled.

By understanding the shortcomings of traditional recycling, you'll see why we are so excited about Protein Evolution’s Biopure™ technology.

Did you know that polyurethane and polyamide make up 10% of global plastic production and are some of the most difficult-to-recycle plastics? Protein Evolution and Basecamp Research are developing new enzymes to break down these materials.

The UN Environment Programme says recycling remains a vital part of improving climate outcomes. We’re proud to be pioneers in biological recycling, which can further the UNEP’s goal to turn “rubbish into a resource.”

Does recycling actually help the climate? Biopure does. We solve the planet's plastic waste problem and the plastic production problem all at once – and we do it with a low-carbon footprint.

Did you know that Americans❤️clothing made with recycled materials? 88% of U.S. adults are likely to choose recycled clothing over new. Our Biopure technology provides brands with high-quality recycled material to meet consumer demands. Now that's love!
