A Complete Transformation Path for C-C backboned plastic wastes to high-value Chemicals and materials

Our Project Objectives

DEVELOP

new catalysts for the deconstruction of polyethylene (PE) to enable the production of value-added, biologically utilizable chemicals at reduced costs.

ENGINEER

enzymes and microbial cell systems that can produce value-added biochemicals for use in the chemical industry from biologically utilizable chemicals.

CONSTRUCT

engineered non-pathogenic yeast systems that can transform biologically utilizable chemicals into value-added biochemicals for use in the chemical industry.

DEFINE

efficient chemical routes and develop catalysts to convert value-added biochemicals into new breakthrough, biodegradable polyesters for various applications.

CREATE

a completely novel biobased polyester that has similar or better properties as polyesters, but is fully biodegradable and recyclable.

DEMONSTRATE

the improved environmental and economic performances of the value-added chemicals, and alternative polyesters developed in the project and achieve zero-waste management.

BOOST

the awareness on the project outcomes through communication and dissemination activities and engage main actors of the value chain as well as young professionals and early career investigators.
