Creating a novel biological platform to turn low-value plastic landfill waste into high-value molecules.
Shaping the future of recycling
Scindo is a cleantech start-up harnessing the power of enzymes to recycle the unrecyclables. We are targeting plastics that cannot be efficiently recycled with current methodologies, to turn them into high-value molecules that can be used in a plethora of industries. We are creating a more circular economy for plastics by developing an alternative to landfills and incineration.
