We disrupt the forever chemicals
industry using enzymes

PFAS PFAS
also known as
"Forever ChemicalsForever Chemicals" are fluorinated materials that can be found everywhere

From coatings and textiles to
food packaging and electronics

Due to their unique properties, like heat resistance and water repellency, they are used in a wide range of products. However, these special properties also make them nearly impossible to degrade and
highly toxic. PFAS accumulate in the environment and pose a threat to public health and the environment itself.

Key Technology Features

Our revolutionary biohalogenation platform offers unique advantages over traditional fluorination methods

Reduced Fluorine Usage

Our technology requires significantly less fluorine while maintaining or enhancing material performance.

Bio-Based Materials

We utilize biological systems and renewable resources to create sustainable and safe fluorinated polymers.

Minimal By-Products

Our precision technology produces fewer unwanted by-products, increasing efficiency and reducing waste.

Circular Economy

Our platform is designed with end-of-life considerations, enabling recyclability and biodegradability.

Green Chemistry

Our processes operate under mild conditions, using renewable resources and generating minimal waste.

We use a combination of computational tools and experimental techniques to optimize enzyme performance and metabolic pathways.

Our technology enables the creation of bio-based alternatives to traditional fluorinated materials, offering superior performance while eliminating the environmental and health concerns associated with PFAS.
