Technology
Stable, domestic resin supply chain. Forget the petrochemicals.
TerraNova Bio’s technology delivers high-value chemical products, without the oil-derived material source.
Development stage: Pilot facility operating, scaling to commercial deployments
True circularity
We are true circularity.
Our technology transforms highly resilient plastic waste, such as polyurethanes, and agriculture scraps, into feedstock for new plastics.
The process
From waste stream to feedstock, in four steps.
Intake & Sorting
Industrial plastic waste is collected and sorted by polymer type. Currently PET, with PP and HDPE in active trials.
Inoculation
Plastic feedstock is introduced to our engineered fungi cultures in temperature-controlled bioreactors.
Enzymatic Degradation
Our engineered fungi break down PUR at the molecular level. Degradation proceeds at ambient temperature.
Output
Plastic converts to CO₂, water, and organic biomass. No residue. No microplastics. Biomass is composted on-site.
