Plastic waste to sustainable solutions: accelerating the biodegradation of syn-thetic plastics

Abstract

Plastic waste to sustainable solutions: accelerating the biodegradation of syn-thetic plastics BioICEP combines chemical and biological methods to turn fossil-based plastic waste into natural, biodegradable substitutes for the packaging and pharma industries. It combines three technologies that enhance, accelerate and increase the degradation of plastics to levels far beyond what is currently possible. A triple-action depolymerization system breaks down plastic waste through chemical disintegration processes, biocatalytic digestion and microbial consortia.
