Bioengineered Materials • Sustainable Future

Plastic that breathes with the planet.

We engineer bioplastics grown from cyanobacteria — photosynthetic microorganisms that turn CO₂ and sunlight into high-performance, fully biodegradable materials.

Who We Are

Made for India

We're Doctoral researcher and engineers from India, scattered across the world, but united by one problem: our home country's plastic crisis. We're using cyanobacteria to grow biodegradable plastic. No oil, no centuries of waste.

Our Mission

Replacing fossil plastic
from the ground up.

CyanoMER Tech was founded on a simple conviction: the best plastics factory on Earth already exists. It's called a cyanobacterium — a photosynthetic microbe that has been producing carbon-based polymers for 3.5 billion years.

We combine synthetic biology, bioprocess engineering, and material science to unlock these natural production pathways, creating high-performance bioplastics that are truly carbon-negative from day one.

🌱
Carbon-Negative by Design Each kg of polymer removes 8.4 kg of CO₂ from the atmosphere.
🧬
Engineered Organisms CRISPR-optimised cyanobacteria strains with 6× the natural PHA yield.
♻️
True End-of-Life PHAs fully mineralise in home compost within 90 days — no microplastics.
The Science
Bacteria to Plastic

Four steps. One organism. Zero fossil fuels.

From Cyanobacteria to Bioplastic
☀️
1
Photosynthesis & CO₂ Capture
Engineered cyanobacteria are cultivated in photobioreactors. They absorb sunlight and CO₂, channelling carbon into PHA polymer chains naturally.
🧬
2
Strain Engineering
CRISPR-Cas12 edits silence competing metabolic pathways and overexpress PHA synthase, boosting yields from 8% to 52% of cell dry weight.
⚗️
3
Extraction & Refinement
Green-solvent extraction isolates PHA granules from biomass. No toxic chemicals. 94% polymer purity achieved.
🏭
4
Compounding & Forming
PHAs are compounded with natural fibres and plasticisers, then pelletised for direct use in standard injection moulding.
Our Materials

Three material grades.
Infinite applications.

💧
CyanoFlex™
Flexible film-grade PHA for packaging, bags and wraps. Comparable to LDPE in elongation but fully compostable.
Flexible Films
🧱
CyanoRigid™
Rigid injection-moulding grade with tensile strength matching polypropylene. Ideal for consumer goods and electronics casings.
Rigid Plastics
🧵
CyanoFibre™
Melt-spun biopolymer fibre for textiles and nonwovens. Moisture-wicking, UV-stable and salt-water biodegradable.

Interested in sampling our materials?

We work with manufacturers, brands and researchers to evaluate CyanoMER Tech materials in real applications.

Our Impact

Plastic that goes away.

Quantified environmental performance

We're a small team. We won't replace all plastic overnight. But every ton we make is one less ton of plastic in the ground.
Net CO₂ per tonne produced vs. +3.2t for conventional polypropylene
Reduction in fossil feedstock Compared to petro-plastic production baseline
Home compost biodegradation Full mineralisation; no microplastic residue
Bioplastic vs Conventional Plastic
🌊
Ocean-Safe
CyanoFibre fully degrades in marine environments within 6 months, leaving zero microplastic residue.
🌡️
Climate Accounting
All carbon flows independently verified under ISO 14064, with full lifecycle assessment published annually.
🏭
Clean Production
Our photobioreactors run on sunlight and CO₂. No petroleum feedstock. No toxic solvents at scale.
