Beyond Bioplastic

About Beyond Bioplastic

Ever thought your used bioplastic cup or compostable bag could go beyond waste?

Today, most biodegradable plastic waste gets burned or composted — releasing CO₂ and ending its story too soon. At Beyond Bioplastic, that’s where our story starts.

At Wageningen University, we’ve developed a microbial recycling process that lets bacteria eat bioplastic waste and transform it into valuable chemicals. These can replace fossil-based ingredients and can be used to make brand-new bioplastic.

This isn’t just recycling — it’s going beyond the end-of-life. We’re scaling our Biokraker™ technology from the lab to the real world, tackling all kinds of mixed and dirty bioplastics. With our partners, and supported by the Biotech Booster program, we’re building a vibrant ecosystem where nothing truly goes to waste.

Let’s keep carbon in the loop, and go Beyond Bioplastic.
