BUSINESS
Samsara Eco uses AI-designed enzymes to depolymerize PET and nylon 6,6 plastics and textiles back to their constituent monomers (TPA, MEG, adipic acid, hexamethylenediamine), enabling "infinite" recycling to virgin-quality materials. In September 2025, the company opened its first plant in Jerrabomberra, NSW, which includes enzymatic depolymerization, monomer purification, and expanded enzyme production facilities.
BIOTECH INVOLVEMENT
Samsara Eco uses a proprietary AI-powered enzyme discovery platform to engineer plastic-degrading enzymes targeting specific polymer types. The enzymes break down PET and nylon 6,6 into monomers under mild conditions, which are then purified and sent to polymerization partners.
TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM
AI-crafted enzyme platform; enzymatic recycling
PRIMARY PRODUCTS
Infinitely recycled plastics and textiles (e.g. circular nylon and polyester)
