Eating plastic | Founder, CEO - @epochbio | 30u30

[Digital Frontier @DigitalFrontier]

Spent the morning shooting something fun with
@journotas and @epochbio. Watch this space 👀

[Lowercarbon Capital @lowercarbon]

Thrilled to help @epochbio scale their plastic-eating enzymes, turning "unrecyclable" materials into high-value inputs for customers in textiles and beyond. Congrats on the oversubscribed Series A!

[Day One Ventures @DayOneVC]

Winners in climate tech = those that make the sustainable choice the default choice through superior economics. @epochbio's approach to plastic waste does exactly that. Proud to continue backing @JacobNathan__ & this extraordinary team!

1/ Excited to announce: @epochbio has raised $18.3M Series A to scale our enzymatic technology that converts plastic waste into new materials. We're on a mission to solve plastic waste through biology. The problem is as plain as the shirt on your back: 64% of our clothes are synthetic textiles, AKA plastics.

[Paul Blakeley @pmblakeley]

Finally, on Monday at 4.45pm I will be chairing
@BIA_UK's panel on the future of Bioengineering, with #Extracellular's Will Milligan, @epochbio's @JacobNathan__ and @RosLeFMIB

Come along to hear about how the sector is changing everything - from healthcare to food production.

[Pique Action @PiqueAction]

Today, only 2% of plastics are truly recycled, the rest is downcycled, burned, landfilled, or leaked into the environment.

@Epochbio gives new life to plastic waste by converting it into everyday chemicals.

[Epoch Biodesign @epochbio]

Our enzymes ❤️ plastic!

Check out this video we made with Pique Action to learn how we're using programmable biology to tackle plastic waste and decarbonise the chemicals industry.

[Epoch Biodesign @epochbio]

We're very excited to feature in this Sunday's @thetimes!

Read on and learn how modern biotechnology can be combined with the age-old process of fermentation to unlock the value of plastic waste.

Many thanks to @Ben_Spencer the brilliant write-up.
