## About

Based in London, UK, and founded in 2019 by CEO Jacob Nathan, and Douglas Kell, E Epoch Biodesign Ltd., a.k.a. Epoch Biodesign is a biodesign company developing natural solutions to scale and industrialize life for a healthy planet.

Epoch Biodesign is a biotechnology company focused on developing sustainable solutions for plastic and textile waste through advanced enzymatic recycling. The company uses artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, and materials science to design specialized enzymes that break down difficult-to-recycle materials such as mixed plastics and textiles into high-purity chemical building blocks, which can then be reused to create new, virgin-quality materials. Its platform operates at relatively low temperatures and aims to enable infinite recycling, reducing energy use and emissions compared to traditional recycling methods.
