ANAVA BIOWARE PRIVATE LIMITED

In their own words

We, Terra Bioware, are India's first startup that is accelerating the transition climate-positive bioplastics which are to cost-effective and scalable. Our Novel and next-generation sustainable biomanufacturing technology is envisioned for a circular, zero-emissions planet. Despite the fact that petroplastics are readily available, they are very hazardous and contribute to climate change and global warming. On the other hand, there are also plant-based bioplastics, which have high costs, leave carbon footprints, and are not scaleable. We are here with a unique microbes that consumes methane emissions and produces PHAs (Polyhydroxyalkanoates) to address these issues. PHAs that are entirely biodegradable and biocompatible in natural environment including home compost, land and marine systems (3-6 months). As a bioplastics, PHAs have high-value (orthopaedic implants, sutures, medication delivery) and high-volume uses (microbeads, packaging, textiles). Since we rely on highly abundant methane emissions and a high yield PHA technology as a carbon feedstock we are able to reduce bioplastic costs by up to 40-50%. Beyond this, we sequester 3.5 kg of anthropogenic Methane for 1Kg of PHA, resulting in a climate positive material. As such, Terra Bioware's PHA bioplastic is designed to meet both sustainability with net zero goals for corporations.
