Biotic has developed a bio-based polymer(s) manufacturing process, which provides an alternative to fossil-based plastics using naturally grown sea algae as feedstock. Its PHBV Polymers — a type of biodegradable plastic — are fit for a wide range of applications and are easy to integrate to current production lines. It eliminates the need for recycling as the materials are biodegradable and toxin-free, while fostering a zero waste and circular economy approach by using 100% of their biomass and extracting highly valued byproducts. The startup also uses marine biomass as feedstock for its precise fermentation process and therefore is not competing for arable land.
