Birch Biosciences is pioneering a sustainable approach to plastic recycling through the application of synthetic biology and machine learning in enzyme engineering. Their innovative enzymes act as highly effective "molecular scissors," meticulously breaking down complex plastic polymers into fundamental chemical components. These components can then be repurposed to create high-quality recycled plastic products. Recognizing the unsustainable nature of current plastic manufacturing processes and their significant contribution to climate change, Birch Biosciences is dedicated to developing a comprehensive and economically viable plastic recycling solution. This process aims to drastically reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 70%, thereby facilitating the transition towards a circular plastic economy.
