Turning plastic waste into renewable fuel.
PlastiBioFuel is a microbial platform that converts post-consumer PET plastic into ethanol, taking on plastic pollution and food-competitive biofuel with a single technology.
Two industries with the same missing piece.
Plastic recycling captures less than a third of what we produce, while the biofuel market stays tethered to food crops. Both lack the same thing: an abundant, non-competitive feedstock that does not compete with the food supply.
A platform that turns PET into ethanol.
Post-consumer PET
Abundant, low-cost plastic waste the world pays to dispose of, including the mixed, contaminated, and dyed grades that recycling rejects.
Microbial depolymerization
Engineered microorganisms break PET into monomers and convert them to ethanol under low-energy conditions.
Renewable ethanol
A scalable, drop-in compatible biofuel, produced with no agricultural inputs and a clean path to market.
One process that is feedstock-flexible, energy-efficient, and non-competitive with food — circularity and renewable fuel in a single platform.
An integrated platform built for scale.
Microbial depolymerization
Engineered biology breaks PET into recoverable monomers under low-temperature, low-energy conditions.
Continuous conversion
A reusable catalyst system delivers stability and continuous operation, extending life and lowering cost per ton.
Integrated separation
End-to-end recovery and purification yields high-purity ethanol with minimal waste and high throughput.
The global biofuel market, growing under renewable-fuel mandates and circular-economy policy.
Policy tailwinds
Renewable-fuel standards and circular-economy mandates accelerating demand for low-carbon ethanol.
Clean pathway
Non-food, waste-derived ethanol that qualifies under federal renewable-fuel frameworks.
Buyer demand
Distributors and corporate buyers actively sourcing sustainable, low-carbon alternatives.
Paid feedstock
ESG and regulatory pressure turns plastic disposal into a feedstock the market pays to remove.
Operator-led, anchored by world-class science.

PlastiBioFuel works alongside a top-tier R1 research university, led by a globally recognized expert in advanced materials, giving the platform deep scientific credibility and lab infrastructure.
Let's build the future of plastic.
We are turning an abundant waste stream into a renewable fuel, backed by a proven science partner and a clear path to commercialization. We would love to hear from partners, buyers, and collaborators.
