Find out more about CO2 Bioclean:
We use carbon emissions
to produce biodegradable biopolymers
to replace highly pollutant plastic materials.
PURPOSE
- Novel business model enabled by a patented fermentation technology to produce 100% biodegradable textile fibers from CO2 emissions.
- The mission of CO2BioClean is making valuable biodegradable biopolymers well-available by the efficient conversion of CO2 emissions.
- We aim to contribute towards a plastic-pollution free planet by 2030, while creating a relevant impact on reducing industrial emissions.
BUSINESS MODEL
- CO2BIOCLEAN business model consists in selling technology licenses for production of biopolymers to a CO2 decentralized sourcing network and distribution and sale of valuable polymers.
- Our technology creates value by interconnecting the value chain of CO2 industrial emissions with plastics conversion. In this sense CO2BioClean represents an example of industrial innovation.
- The CO2 emissions are treated through CO2BioClean Technology at licensors plants, therefore CO2bioClean will outsource manufacturing operations but will own in-house distribution operations.
