Intropic Materials is unlocking a new bio-active products market with its enzyme stabilizing technology. By embedding degrading enzymes directly inside plastics, Intropic is imparting a favorable end-of-life at the beginning. Once activated, the enzymes trigger the plastic to rapidly and completely self-degrade into biodegradable or chemically recyclable small molecules. Enzymes are central to life, and harnessing their incredible performance and diversity of functions promises to revolutionize sustainable materials, chemical manufacturing, food technology, pharmaceuticals, consumer products, sensors, and beyond. However, for all their utility and our increasing ability to engineer and optimize them, enzyme stability outside of cells remains a key challenge to developing applications that are technically and economically viable outside of the lab. By providing a general, orthogonal, and scalable approach to stabilization, Intropic Materials is working to unlock the potential for a sustainable future.
