The central aim of EnZyReMix is to deliver the basic research and technology to enable a paradigm step in the frame of a circular plastics economy: where, through developing innovative methodologies for mixed plastics waste, depolymerised monomers and oligomers can be chemically and biologically re-polymerized from post-consumer materials. This proof-of-concept methodology will lead to a breakthrough in delivering regenerated biomaterials, such as polyhydroxy-alkanoates and nanocellulose, which are fully sustainable and can have equivalent properties to virgin fossil-based materials.
