Precision upcycling for difficult-to-recycle polymer waste

With BEAST, our proprietary platform, we develop material-specific biocatalytic routes to monomers, chemical intermediates or polymer-rich fractions.

BEAST platform

From difficult waste to target products

  1. Input01

    Waste stream + target product

    Composition, physical form, known constraints, and the required product specification.

  2. Platform02

    Envalyx development route

    Feedstock characterisation, computational route design, multi-enzyme system development, and controlled laboratory validation.

  3. Output03

    Target product + process basis

    Monomers, chemical intermediates, or polymer-rich fractions defined by product identity, yield, mass balance, and route conditions.

Waste streams

Selected waste streams

Rigid and open-cell polyurethane foam samples

Polyurethane foams

Mattresses, appliance foams, and flexible manufacturing scrap.

Target output

Soluble products and residual fractions.

Stack of reflective multilayer packaging films

Multilayer films

Barrier films, pouches, and complex packaging.

Target output

Target products and separated polymer-rich fractions.

NR-containing tire rubber

Tire crumb and industrial rubber scrap with a defined natural-rubber fraction.

Target output

Carbonyl-terminated oligomers and residual solids.

Black injection-moulded technical-plastic component

PA-6/PA-66

Technical textiles, automotive components, and e-waste housings.

Target output

Identified monomer, oligomer, and chain-end products.

Representative PET bottle and thermoformed tray with woven polyester textile and yarn

PET-containing materials

Bottles, trays, polyester-rich textiles, and yarn.

Target output

TPA, EG, BHET, MHET, and oligomer fractions.

Representative PE/PP film offcuts, moulding sprues, and washed regrind

PE/PP-rich streams

Film offcuts, moulding scrap, rigid packaging, and regrind.

Target output

Separated PE-rich and PP-rich fractions.
