The Protein Revolution

Engineering Enzymes to Dissolve the Global Plastic Crisis

Nature already has the blueprints to erase our plastic footprint—we just need to unlock them.

Strategic Objectives

• Master the science of enzymatic hydrolysis to break down complex polymers.

• Explore the cutting-edge engineering of PETases for low-temperature efficiency.

• Understand protein-substrate specificity to target specific waste streams.

• Learn how biological biocatalysis replaces toxic thermo-chemical recycling methods.

The Core Challenge

Traditional recycling is failing, leaving millions of tons of non-biodegradable polyesters to choke our ecosystems for centuries.
