Intelligent, selectively-degradable plastics that work with existing material processes.
Discover Our TechnologyE.V.A Biosystems pioneers bespoke biological additives that combine conventional manufacturing compatibility with programmable environmental breakdown.
Only activates in specific environments, maintaining the material performance that makes plastic so useful in the first place.
Works with existing low-cost and abundant plastics commonly used in industry, and retains compatibility with standard manufacturing methods and equipment.
Enzymatic process degrades plastics at the polymer chain level, aiming to minimise microplastics.
In collaboration with National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) and supported by investment from Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Ventures to improve the commercial readiness of our technology, focusing on injection moulding.
Supported by Scottish Enterprise and Old College Capital to develop initial prototypes, including custom biological composite 3D printer filaments.
E.V.A Biosystems has won a variety of awards, including Young Scottish EDGE in 2022, Edinburgh Innovations’ Inspire Launch Grow in 2023, and both the Net Zero Challenge and IBioIC Industrial Biotechnology awards at Converge Challenge in 2024. Our technology has also been featured in numerous articles and reports, including PwC’s Net Zero Future50 report.
At E.V.A Biosystems, our mission is to transform the end-of-life outcomes of everyday plastics by embedding smart degradability in a scalable, cost-effective manner. We aim to maximise environmental benefit without compromising supply chains or product performance. Our multidisciplinary team is driving these innovations from lab bench to large-scale implementation, ensuring real-world impact across industries.
