EcoPlast employs a two-step process involving anaerobic fermentation and novel polymerization techniques.

In the first step, unavoidable food waste such as peels and stems is placed in bioreactors where microorganisms break down the organic matter through anaerobic digestion, producing lactic acid.

In the second phase, this lactic acid is fed into a specialized polymerization setup converting it into polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable and versatile bioplastic.

The process leverages proprietary microbial strains and enhanced fermentation technology to ensure efficiency and scalability, turning waste into input for the bioplastic industry.

EcoPlast reduces disposal costs and carbon footprints for manufacturers while creating a sustainable bioplastic that meets the rising demand for eco-friendly materials.

It turns waste management from a cost center into a revenue stream.

While anaerobic digestion and polymerization are proven technologies, the innovation lies in scaling and tailoring them to diverse food waste types.

Initial investments are necessary for bioreactor installations and optimizing microbial strains, but these costs can be recovered through savings on waste disposal and new revenue streams from bioplastic sales.
