Designing for a Circular Economy
From Renewable Feedstock to Complete Regeneration
At Encodelife, we believe in changing the world sustainably. From renewable plant-based feedstock sourcing to multiple after-use pathways, we design PLA biopolymers with the planet's wellbeing and India's biotech workforce in mind.
How Encodelife Supports a Circular Economy
The circular economy model is based on sustainable manufacturing practices that reduce waste, increase product reuse, and support environmental health. Unlike a linear model where product life ends with disposal, our circular model encompasses the entire journey—from carbon capture through photosynthesis to after-use regeneration—ensuring products return to the environment beneficially.
Decoupling from Fossil Feedstocks
Encodelife PLA is made entirely from plant sugars—carbon captured from the atmosphere through photosynthesis—not petroleum or fossil fuels. Produced at India's first corn-based biopolymer plant with renewable feedstock sources.
Preventing Environmental Leakage
We advocate for robust waste infrastructure development and ensure inherent safety and non-toxicity of our biopolymers through rigorous third-party testing. Nothing should end up as litter.
Multiple After-Use Pathways
Our PLA supports industrial composting, mechanical recycling, chemical recycling, and biogas generation—true circularity in action. Products designed for complete end-of-life solutions.
Our Commitment to Circularity
In partnership with industry leaders and academic institutions, we're establishing India's first corn-based biopolymer plant. We're developing special PLA blends with complete end-of-life solutions through industry-academia collaboration.
Sustainable, Renewable Feedstocks
Manufacturing PLA doesn't require a specific feedstock. We're committed to feedstock diversification—using the most abundant, locally available, and sustainable source of biobased carbon wherever we produce.
Agricultural Feedstocks
Sustainably sourced agricultural feedstocks including corn, sugarcane, and cassava—locally abundant and renewable plant resources.
Second-Generation Feedstocks
Next-generation lignocellulosic feedstocks from bagasse, wood chips, switchgrass, and agricultural waste—maximizing resource efficiency.
Direct Greenhouse Gas Conversion
Revolutionary technology converting CO₂ and methane directly into lactic acid—the ultimate circular solution bypassing agricultural steps entirely.
Recycled PLA Feedstock
Mechanical and chemical recycling methods transforming post-consumer and post-industrial PLA into new resin—closing the loop completely.
