Plastus Biotec

Plastus is a biotech startup that has a patented technology to convert organic waste into 100% biodegradable bioplastic (PHA or Polyhydroxyalkanoates). We ferment organic waste in bioreactors to extract biodegradable bioplastics from within the bacterial cells. PHA bioplastics biodegrade safely in soil and in the ocean. The integration of PHA should reduce the reliance on fossil fuel, and alleviate the burden on supply chain. PHA bioplastics has $0 end of life cost because it biodegrades safely in soil and in the ocean, unlike most other types of bioplastics that requires a special processing plants to technically degrade which has a higher disposal cost than fossil- based plastics.
