Evoralis

About the Company

Evoralis is an early-stage spin-out from the University of Cambridge with the mission to enable true and sustainable plastic recycling. It uses a unique ultrahigh-throughput screening platform to find and improve enzymes that can break down plastics into their constituent building-blocks to be re-used again within new products. At Evoralis, biocatalysts can be tested at unprecedented speed, making the discovery of plastic-degrading enzymes up to 1,000 times faster than any other current state-of-the-art approach. The high sensitivity of the screening platform used by Evoralis allows the selection of the most interesting and efficient candidates. Our journey is just at the beginning, feel welcome to contact us if you are interested in contributing to a circular plastic economy.
