Polymers to Biomass
25+ markets globally
BioConversion turns any polymer into non-toxic biomass at end of life — without changing how you manufacture.
Bioplastics require industrial composting that doesn't exist at scale. Compostable packaging creates microplastics. Mechanical recycling handles less than 10% of volume. BFAs work within the existing system — no new infrastructure required.
BFAs integrate into your existing process. Nothing changes until end of life — which is exactly the point.
0.5% by weight. No equipment changes, no process redesign, no new supplier relationships. Drop-in compatible with every standard compounding line.
Full product shelf life. Mechanical strength, barrier properties, and aesthetics unaffected. Still recyclable in conventional streams.
Microbes in decomposition environments activate the BFA mechanism. Polymer chains convert to non-toxic biomass, CO₂, and water. No microplastic residue.
Films, pouches, wraps — the hardest plastic stream to recycle. BFAs provide a viable end-of-life without compromising barrier performance.
Bottles, trays, containers. Drop-in compatible with injection moulding and blow moulding — no equipment changes required.
Mulch film and greenhouse covering that ends up in the field or landfill. BFAs convert this stream to biomass, not microplastic.
Polyester and nylon fibres that shed microplastics in washing. BFAs address end-of-life at the manufacturing stage.

Ask our AI anything about BioConversion.
Yes — BioConversion Functional Additives are fully compatible with PET, as well as PE, PP, PS, PVC, PLA, polyester, and nylon. The additive is compounded into your masterbatch at a 0.5% ratio with no changes to your blow moulding or injection process.
During normal product life, the plastic performs exactly as expected. When it reaches a decomposition environment — landfill, ocean, or industrial composting — naturally occurring microbes are attracted to the additive and trigger bioconversion. The polymer converts to non-toxic biomass, water, and biogas. No microplastics.
BFAs are tested to ASTM D5511, ASTM D6400, and ISO 14855 standards. For food contact applications, we work with you during qualification to ensure compliance with your target market's regulations (FDA, EU, etc.). Full documentation is available under NDA after initial qualification.
There's no strict minimum — we evaluate opportunities based on commercial viability, polymer fit, and market potential. That said, most of our active projects are in the 50+ tonnes/year range. Submit your details and we'll give you a straight answer.
Yes. BFA-treated plastics can be mechanically recycled through standard streams without contamination. The bioconversion process only activates in decomposition environments — not during reprocessing. Your recyclability claims remain intact.
