our platform

Ester bond hydrolysis,
turned into simpler building blocks.

EVO CUTinase Enzyme Cocktail breaks down ester bonds in plastic materials, converting polymers into simpler building blocks under mild reaction conditions.

Multi-enzyme formulation

Combines multiple recombinant cutinases, selected and optimized to work together, rather than relying on a single enzyme’s activity profile.

High enzymatic activity

More than 3000 U p-NPB activity enables consistent, effective degradation under mild reaction conditions.

Target materials

Designed to degrade a variety of ester-linked plastics and resins.

PET

Polyethylene terephthalate

PBS

Polybutylene succinate

PBAT

Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)

PU

Polyurethane

Also active on any other plastic or resin containing ester linkages.

Tailored formulations

Talk to us about adapting the enzyme blend or reaction conditions for your specific polymer or resin.

In-house testing and analysis

We run the exploratory assay at our facilities for a specific material or challenge. After careful analysis, a detailed report identifies degradation performance and recommendations.

Cutinase customization via Directed Evolution

Further development through ad-hoc directed evolution campaigns on the cutinase components — including HTP assay design and library creation via EVOSHUFFLER.

Enzymatic plastic recycling research

Supporting research into hydrolyzable plastic degradation and recycling — a mild, biocatalytic alternative for ester-based polymers.
