Impact not yet demonstrated.

The polyester waste problem is real today. Whether Enzalebio can contribute anything measurable to it has not been shown.

Where we stand

The numbers on this page describe the problem, not our results. Enzalebio is a pre-seed venture at the concept stage: this is the framework we propose to hold ourselves to, not a track record.

The scale of the problem.

400M t

Global plastic produced every year.

~9%

Of all plastic ever made has been recycled.

60–70M t

Polyester textiles produced annually, our primary target.

What would have to come first.

Define

Metrics before results.

Mass balance, energy and chemical inputs, and emissions per kg would need to be defined and measured. None have been measured yet.

Assess

Independent assessment.

A proposed future step: lifecycle assessment by an identifiable independent party before any environmental claim is made.

Quality

Tested against a specification.

Material quality would have to be defined against a fibre specification and tested. No quality results exist yet.
