01 / WHY INNOVAPLAST

BIOLOGICAL DEPTH · INDUSTRIAL IMPACT
SCIENCE → SYSTEM → SCALE

Science is only the starting point.
We make biology work beyond the lab.

OUR FOUNDATION

Microbial expertise.
Developed for industrial scale.

Founded in 2020 in Eskisehir, Innovaplast brings multidisciplinary biotechnology expertise together with more than 15 years of microbial PHA know-how. We connect scientific discovery, bioprocess engineering and practical production experience to develop reliable, scalable and sustainable biological solutions.

Our role is not limited to proving that a microorganism can make a molecule. We define how that biology can become a repeatable manufacturing process.

03

Measured progress

Decisions are driven by reproducibility, process evidence and application-relevant performance.

DATA BEFORE CLAIMS
04

Industrial relevance

We develop biological processes with scale, resource efficiency and real manufacturing constraints in view.

LAB → PILOT → INDUSTRY
OUR PURPOSE

To translate biotechnology into manufacturing systems that reduce dependence on fossil resources and create measurable value for sustainable industries.

02 / OUR TECHNOLOGY

DISCOVERY · PROCESS DEVELOPMENT · SCALE-UP

One platform.
Many biological products.

Innovaplast is an industrial biotechnology platform—not only a fermentation operation. We combine biological diversity, sustainable feedstocks, process development, scale-up and responsible downstream technologies to turn microorganisms into manufacturing systems.

03 / SCALE

De-risk scale-up

Translate biological performance into an integrated pilot and industrial process, connecting robust upstream operation with scalable downstream recovery.

PILOT → INDUSTRIAL SCALE
04 / RECOVER

Recover responsibly

Apply product-specific separation, purification and finishing routes with resource efficiency and environmental impact in mind.

GREEN DOWNSTREAM
DESIGNED FOR SUSTAINABILITY

Not an end-of-process claim.
A design variable.

We engineer sustainability into the process from the first feedstock decision to final product recovery—connecting renewable resources, biological conversion and responsible downstream technologies.

01 / ENERGY

Solar-powered operations

Production energy supplied from on-site solar panels.

RENEWABLE POWER
02 / FEEDSTOCK

Side streams become inputs

Agricultural residues and renewable carbon and nitrogen sources replace conventional inputs where technically suitable.

SUSTAINABLE C + N
03 / CONVERSION

Biology does the synthesis

Bacteria, yeasts and fungi convert selected resources into high-value biological products.

03 / MATERIALS

PHA PORTFOLIO · MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT
MICROBIALLY SYNTHESIZED POLYESTERS

One biological family.
Multiple material profiles.

PHA is not a single polymer. By controlling biology, carbon source and process conditions, its monomer composition can be directed toward different balances of stiffness, flexibility and processing behaviour.

HOMOPOLYMER

PHB

Poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate]

A highly crystalline, biobased thermoplastic produced and stored intracellularly by microorganisms. Our core material platform for application development and high-purity biomaterial research.
