History of Plastic Degradation Research

Late 19th to Early 20th Century: Beginning of Microbial Studies

Background:
Studies began on the natural degradation of complex polymers like cellulose and lignin by microorganisms.
Bacteria such as Cellulomonas sp. and fungi like Aspergillus nigerwere the focus of these early studies.
Key Enzymes:
Cellulase: Breaks down cellulose into glucose.
Laccase: Degrades lignin through oxidation-reduction reactions.
Limitations: These studies focused on natural polymers, as synthetic plastics had not yet been developed.

Mid-20th Century: Initial Exploration of Plastic Degradation

Background:
The industrial production of plastics led to increasing environmental pollution due to their non-degradable nature.
Early experiments showed that certain synthetic polymers could be partially degraded by microorganisms after chemical or thermal pretreatment.
Key Findings:
Pseudomonas sp. bacteria demonstrated the ability to break down certain organic compounds.
Fungi like Aspergillus niger were found to attack polyester structures.

Empowering the Circular Economy with Precision Biodegradation

How Reborn's Technology Works

Discovery and Enhancement:
Leveraging insights from nature, we identify unique microbial systems capable of producing enzymes that target the molecular structure of plastics. These enzymes undergo proprietary modifications to enhance their durability, efficiency, and compatibility with various polymers.
Next-Level Stability:
Our patented nano-encapsulation technology ensures enzyme stability even under extreme industrial conditions, such as high temperatures and mechanical stress. This allows us to address plastics that have traditionally resisted biodegradation.
Surface Adaptation:
Plastics are engineered to interact seamlessly with our microbial systems, ensuring optimal degradation. This step is tailored for each polymer type and is part of a broader strategy to improve biodegradation in real-world environments.
The Invisible Layer (Ongoing Development):
Reborn is advancing a next-generation approach, including adaptive enzymes and self-replicating microbial systems, which will further accelerate degradation timelines and broaden the range of target plastics.
