## Epoch Biodesign acquires former-DOMO nylon 6,6 polymerisation site

The 52,000 tonne/year production facility will boost Epoch’s capabilities, making it the only biorecycling company in the world to own commercial-scale polymer production. As a result of this new vertical integration, Epoch now has the ability to iterate faster. The company’s customers can already receive materials at a commercial scale, de-risking their supply chain.

Nylon 6,6 is used in a variety of applications, including in the clothing, automotive, and industrial sectors, at a scale of over 2 million tonnes a year. However, less than 1% of the material is recycled at the end of its lifecycle. Epoch Biodesign is hoping to help provide a solution for businesses by leveraging AI-designed enzymes to deconstruct plastic waste at the molecular level. This process will provide virgin-quality recycled monomers that can be recycled indefinitely without any loss of quality. Now, at the facility in Blanes, the material can be recycled into high-performance polymers.
