Our Technology
Innovative Enzyme Technology for Sustainable Plastic Recycling
At Evoralis, we are pioneering the next generation of recycling technology through the development of specialised enzymes. Our innovative approach focuses on creating sustainable and cost-effective solutions for plastic recycling, particularly in industries like textiles. By tailoring our technology to meet the unique challenges of plastic waste, we are enabling a circular economy where plastics can be continuously recycled into virgin-quality plastics in an infinite loop.
Accelerating enzyme innovation through our Ultrafast Screening Platform
At the heart of Evoralis is our Ultrafast Screening Platform - a microfluidic powerhouse capable of testing over ten million enzyme variants in one day. Unlike conventional assays built on mimicking substrates, our platform measures enzymatic activity on real plastic materials, directly integrated into our microfluidic technology.
​
By linking enzyme function to small changes in particle size, we can rapidly pinpoint and evolve enzymes that truly act on the target material - not just model compounds. This capability gives us unmatched precision and speed in discovering and optimising enzymes for challenging polymers such as nylon, PET, and elastane.
​
But the potential goes far beyond recycling. Our technology opens a new realm of possibilities - enabling enzymes that build up or deconstruct polymers, proteins, and materials in general. The same principles that drive our recycling breakthroughs can be applied to create, modify, or dismantle complex structures with enzymatic precision.
Why does this matter?
Waste Isn’t the End - It’s the Beginning
The textile industry produces over 110 million tonnes of synthetic fibres each year, yet less than 1% are recycled back into new textiles. Most end up landfilled or incinerated, driving greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on virgin petrochemicals. Current recycling solutions are limited, mechanical methods cannot handle blended fabrics, and chemical depolymerisation can be energy-intensive.
​
Evoralis is addressing this challenge with enzymatic recycling technology that efficiently depolymerises synthetic-based polymer textiles into virgin-grade monomers. Our enzymes enable single-step recycling of complex blends without harsh chemicals or mechanical separation, allowing regenerated fibres and a truly circular textile economy that cuts Scope 3 emissions.
​Capital-light, impact-heavy: scaling recycling through partnerships
Our work has attracted early interest from leading textile and fashion companies looking for scalable recycling solutions. This industry engagement helped validate the commercial relevance of our approach and supported our successful seed funding round in July 2024.
​
At Evoralis, we are committed to advancing enzyme technologies that enable large-scale, economically viable recycling, supporting a truly circular future for plastics.
Our Services
High Efficiency Enzymes
Our core offering includes high-efficiency enzymes designed to degrade a variety of post-consumer plastics, such as polyester, nylon, and elastane. These enzymes enable the recycling of plastics back into their original, virgin-quality materials at a sustainable cost, providing a powerful tool in the fight against plastic waste.
Recycling Process Licensing
While our primary focus is on enzyme sales, we also offer opportunities for technology licensing. Companies can enter into agreements that grant them the use of our recycling processing technology, with ongoing royalties based on the production of recycled products. This model allows us to expand the impact of our recycling technology across various industries.
Collaborative Applications and Custom Solutions
Beyond our core enzyme products, we offer collaborative, fee-for-service projects that apply our technology to partners’ unique challenges. Whether improving material performance, enabling selective transformations, or creating new sustainable processes, we help uncover novel enzymatic pathways tailored to real-world needs. Our platform empowers partners to explore the untapped potential of enzymes - to solve problems, rethink processes, and innovate materials across industries.
