Protein Evolution

Protein Evolution is a U.S.-based company focused on transforming plastic waste management and production through its Biopure™ technology. This technology uses enzymes to break down discarded polyester into its original components, terephthalic acid (PTA) and mono-ethylene glycol (MEG), which can then be used to create 100% recycled polyester. This process reduces the need for fossil fuels in plastic production, creating a circular plastics economy with a significantly lower carbon footprint.

Protein Evolution is actively collaborating with industry leaders in petrochemical production, fashion, and policy to bring Biopure™ to scale and make circular plastics a reality. The company is committed to decarbonizing plastic production and is working towards a world without plastic waste.
