Biopolymers

Conventional plastic derived from petrochemical source takes a long time to biodegrade when dispersed. Rising concern about shortage of fossil fuel and long term environmental impact resulted biotechnology research to develop eco-friendly alternatives.

Bioplastics are produced by using Biopolymers which can be produced as secondary metabolites through fermentation or modification of polymers from renewable sources.

Actively involved in understanding the nature of biological polymers that can fill up the missing link, Epygen embarcks on following strategies:

• Screening and modification of microorganisms for  efficient production of Lactic Acid through Fermentation path and efficient conversion to Polylactic Acid.
• Hyper expression and Protein engineering of Polyester Synthase for production of Medical grade Nano-material.
• Supply of Epymer TyroLAC series of Bio-Polylactic acid.
• Supply of Epymer PlastoGAL  series of Triglycerides derived from vegetable source for use in Bioplastics industry.
