En'Zync is headed by Professor Daniel Otzen and is at the forefront of sustainable innovation, pioneering a revolutionary approach to address one of the biggest challenges in plastic recycling. Dive into a world where nature meets cutting-edge science, exploring the profound possibilities of enzymatic deconstruction for a sustainable society.
At En'Zync, we're driven by a singular mission: to unravel the secrets of thermoset plastics. These formidable materials, essential in wind turbines, airplanes, and insulation foams, pose a unique challenge in recycling. Unlike traditional plastics, thermosets cannot be melted down for reuse. However, they share a fundamental link with nature through their chemical structures, akin to the organic linkages found in sugars and proteins.
Harnessing the power of nature, En'Zync is pioneering the development of specialized enzymes, sourced from bacteria and fungi. These enzymes are nature's tools, designed to break down thermosets into their molecular building blocks, known as monomers. Through meticulous research and interdisciplinary collaboration between material specialists, molecular biologists, and computational experts, we're unlocking a groundbreaking method for thermoset recycling.
Imagine a world where thermoset plastics are not a burden, but a valuable resource. Our vision is to create a circular economy where these durable materials are broken down and reborn, minimizing environmental impact and conserving precious resources. En'Zync is dedicated to transforming this vision into reality through relentless research, innovation, and collaboration.
