Pioneering biosolutions for a sustainable future
We develop biosolutions that use nature’s own microorganisms to create sustainable materials.
Reason to exist
Why are we doing this?
By using microorganisms to replace chemical processes, we create smarter and more sustainable ways to produce materials. Our technologies enable the development of biobased and biodegradable plastics, proteins and natural fibres that support a circular and biobased economy.
12%
Global plastic production is currently responsible for around 12% of total demand for oil and 8.5% of total natural gas demand.
9–14m
Every year 9-14 million metric tons of plastic enters the ocean.
5m
The global poultry industry generates approximately five million tonnes of feathers each year. Only a fifth of this byproduct is collected separately for use in animal feed and fertilisers.
Our Biosolutions
We use microorganisms to replace chemical processes and create smarter, more sustainable materials. Our patented biosolutions tackle plastic pollution and feather waste – turning two global challenges into commercial opportunities.
Polyhydroxyalkanoates
PHA Bioplastic
Plastic pollution and microplastics are global problems demanding practical, scalable solutions. PHAs offer a sustainable alternative, naturally produced by bacteria from renewable sources and fully biodegradable, with versatile material performance.
Upcycling
Feather Waste
More than 5 million tons of poultry feathers are discarded globally each year, typically ending up in landfills or burned as waste. Bioextrax unlocks this potential through a controlled, biobased hydrolysis technology that converts feather waste into either high-value keratin microfibers or hydrolysed proteins.
