About
Refer Technologies, Inc. is a cleantech company on a mission to address the growing problem of natural and synthetic polymer waste. Our innovative technology uses enzymatic processes to break down polymers into their natural components, reducing pollution and promoting a circular economy. Our approach is sustainable and cost-effective, providing a solution to the polymer waste treatment while also creating value from waste streams.
Many industries have not widely adopted the use of enzymes due to the cost associated with this approach. Enzymes are proteins that can catalyze chemical reactions, making them valuable tools for a range of industrial processes. However, producing enzymes can be a time-consuming and costly process. Enzymes are typically produced through fermentation, which requires carefully controlled conditions and can take several days or even weeks to complete. Additionally, enzymes are often highly specific, meaning that each enzyme may only work on one particular substrate. This specificity requires the use of multiple enzymes to carry out a single industrial process, further increasing costs. While enzymes offer numerous benefits for industrial processes, their high cost remains a barrier for many companies.
We aim to be the game changer!
