A zero waste process for producing all natural, biodegradable replacement additives for synthetic polymers and microspheres
Bioweg aims to develop customizable, biodegradable additives from industrial waste to replace harmful synthetic polymers, while scaling up production and conducting end-user trials.
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:
- Undertake end-user trials
- Scale up the production process
- Automate it to prepare for large-scale orders
