technology
Enzymatic PET degradation
Engineered PET hydrolase (LCC) enzymes that depolymerize waste polyethylene terephthalate into monomers for repolymerization (Carbios).
Where it's used
Microbial bioremediation (enzymatic degradation, PFAS destruction, MBR wastewater)
Microbes and enzymes that degrade or destroy pollutants — waste plastic, PFAS, industrial effluents and municipal wastewater — a remediation value chain from contaminated streams to clean water, recoverable monomers and inert residue.
Microplastic biodegradation on land
Microbes, enzymes and micro-fauna degrading microplastic already dispersed in soil and terrestrial matrices — a remediation value chain from plastisphere colonization to mineralization, distinct from industrial enzymatic plastic recycling.
