Transforming Waste Management
Innovative Biotechnologies for a Sustainable Future
Novel Yeast Cell Factory Technology
Welcome to the Future of Sustainable Bioplastics, Biofuels, and Bionylons
Revolutionizing Waste Management with Novel Yeast Cell Factory Technology
At the intersection of biotechnology and environmental sustainability lies our pioneering Novel Yeast Cell Factory. This innovative technology revolutionizes waste management by converting organic waste into high-value, biodegradable plastics, providing a sustainable solution to two of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time—plastic pollution and organic waste disposal. This process also works to create biofuels and bio-nylons.
Key Features
Sustainable Solution to Plastic Pollution
The United States generation 35.7 million tons of plastic in 2018, with less than 9% recycled. Our technology converts waste into biodegrabale plastics, reducing landfill overflow and environmental contamination.
Economic and
Environmental Benefits
Utilizing organic waste as feedstock significantly lowers production costs. By diverting waste from landfills and converting it into valuable biopolymers, we not only mitigate disposal costs but also contribute to a circular economy.
Advanced Anaerobic
Digestion (AD) Technology
Our hyperthermophilic AD process operates at temperatures above 65°C, converting waste more efficiently into volatile fatty acids (VFAs) instead of low-value biogas. This process enhances pathogen removal and antibiotic destruction, producing high-quality biofertilizers.
How it Works
Our innovative approach combines the strengths of anaerobic digestion and synthetic biology.
Hyperthermophilic
AD Process
Converts waste into VFAs, avoiding methane production and increasing efficiency.
VFAs serve as the building blocks for biopolymer production.
Metabolic Engineering
of Yarrowia lipolytica
This robust yeast strain converts VFAs into poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (P3HB) and its copolymer, P(3HB-co-3HV).
Our engineered yeast exhibits high tolerance to VFAs, ensuring efficient biopolymer synthesis.

SeqHTL (Sequential Hydrothermal Liquefaction)
Revolutionizing Biotechnology Production
Extraction of High Value Molecules from Food Waste Streams
At the cutting edge of biotechnology, the SeqHTL (Sequential Hydrothermal Liquefaction) process offers a breakthrough solution for the efficient utilization of fruit and vegetable wastes and food processing by-products. By transforming waste into valuable bioactive compounds, SeqHTL not only enhances the value chain of agricultural production but also significantly reduces environmental impacts.
Why SeqHTL?
According to the EPA, the U.S. alone discards approximately 45 billion kg of vegetables, fruits, milk, and grain products annually. This waste contributes to nearly 4.5 tonnes of CO2 emissions per tonne of food waste. Current technologies for extracting high-value compounds from these waste streams suffer from inefficiencies and environmental drawbacks, such as the need for organic solvents, high energy consumption, and low extraction efficiency. SeqHTL addresses these challenges head-on with a unique, eco-friendly approach.
Key Benefits
SeqHTL offers numerous advantages for biotechnology production:
Utilizes Wet Biomaterials
Unlike other methods, SeqHTL accepts
wet biomaterials, eliminating the need for energy-intensive drying steps.
Green Solvent
The process uses water as a solvent, making it environmentally friendly.
Subcritical Water Conditions
Operating under subcritical water conditions allows for efficient and selective extraction of target compounds.
Continuous Operation
Designed for continuous operation, SeqHTL provides higher efficiency and productivity compared to batch processes.
High Extraction Efficiency
The process ensures high extraction efficiencies of valuable products, making it commercially viable.
Applications
SeqHTL is versatile and can process various types of biomaterials. For instance, potato peels (PP), a common by-product in potato processing, can be used to extract polyphenols, antioxidants, pigments, dietary fibers, vitamins, and minerals. These high-value compounds have applications in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.
How it Works
SeqHTL operates using the unique properties of subcritical water.
Acceptance of
Wet Biomaterials
Handles wet biomaterials directly, simplifying the process.
Green
Solvent
Water is used as a solvent, ensuring an environmentally friendly operation.
Subcritical Water
Conditions
Water under subcritical conditions (increased temperature and pressure) allows for selective extraction of bioactive compounds.
Continuous
Mode
Unlike batch processes, SeqHTL runs continuously, improving efficiency and reducing costs.
