Projectdetails

Introduction

We are now discovering the harmful effects of synthetic additives and plastics on the human body and ecosystems due to advancements in research and technology.

Industry Challenges

To address the problems derived from synthetic additives, product formulators across the industry are actively scouting for new bio-based, biodegradable, and sustainable alternatives such as:

  • Seed kernels
  • Clay
  • Silica
  • Modified starches/cellulose

While these new “bioplastic” solutions are improvements over the unnatural additives, the proposed solutions are neither biodegradable nor have the ability to be customized to the particular product they are used in.

Bioweg's Solution

Bioweg has developed a sustainable process that uses waste material from industry to produce all-natural, customizable, biodegradable replacement additives for these harmful synthetic polymers and microspheres.

Project Objectives

During the proposed EIC Project, the company will:

  1. Undertake end-user trials
  2. Scale up the production process
  3. Automate it to prepare for large-scale orders
