Resumen:
Acelerar la degradación del plástico tradicional y convertirlo en biopolímeros y bioproductos, que podrán utilizarse como sustitutos naturales y biodegradables de los plásticos en el sector del packaging y farmacéutico.

Objetivos:
The project’s overall objective is to demonstrate a seamless sustainable route to a circular economy for plastics by developing an advanced energy, carbon, and cost-efficient waste plastic biotransformation into high market demand bioproducts and bioplastics. The consortium brings together leading experts from industry and academia contributing a set of purpose-designed and ground-breaking technologies.

Acciones:
The approach is a triple-action depolymerisation system where plastic waste will be broken down in three consecutive processes:

1. Mechano-biochemical disintegration processes, including a new proprietary sonic-green-chemical technology to reduce the polymer molecular weight of the base polymer to make it amenable to biodegradation.
2. Biocatalytic digestion, with enzymes enhanced through a range of innovative techniques including accelerated screening through novel fluorescent sensor and directed evolution.
3. Microbial consortia developed from best in class single microbial strains, which combined leads to highly efficient degradation of mixed plastic waste streams. The outputs from this degradation process will be used as building blocks for new polymers or other bioproducts to enable a new plastic waste-based circular economy.

Resultados:
BioICEP is designed to biotransform plastic waste into new sustainable ready to use plastics. The BioICEP team will operate a series of innovative technologies to take i
mixed plastic waste at one end, treat it with microbes and enzymes, recovering the molecules and bioprocessing them to produce new replacement bioplactics and bioproducts.
