Green Biopolymer: Chitosan from Industrial Crustacean Waste

Transforms industrial crustacean waste into high-value biopolymers such as Chitosan using proprietary green processes and modular on-site system to manufacture wound dressings and medical sutures, water purification filters, biodegradable bioplastics, agricultural coatings and supplements, cosmetics and hair care products, 3D biomedical and dental applications.

Around 70-80% of crustaceans are discarded as waste annually. Kykloris has developed an on-site, decentralized and scalable extraction system that eliminates disposal costs and toxic wastes and captures valuable natural biopolymers such as Chitosan utilizing sustainable, closed-loop processes.
