AI-engineered enzymes that break down plastic waste into monomers for manufacturing 100% recycled plastic products.
Birch Biosciences develops AI-guided engineered enzymes that depolymerize plastic waste — bottles, clamshells, and polyester textiles — into chemical monomers that are repolymerized into 100% recycled content plastic resin. The company uses generative AI and proprietary high-throughput screening to design novel enzymes, integrated into an end-to-end enzymatic recycling process. It has received NSF SBIR Phase II, DOE SBIR Phase II grants, and an AWS AI innovation award. Birch Biosciences is a product of Birch Biosciences.
