2020 Winner | Deep-tech entrepreneur | Bangladeshi
Zahin’s venture, Quantum Polychemics Biotechnology produces non-toxic, organic polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) based biopolymers which are fully programmable and translational. Formed in alignment with UN SDG 9 & 14 with the vision of redefining traditional material science approaches in tackling plastic pollution, this initiative aims to be an impetus for kickstarting the era of a bio-based circular economy in Bangladesh. The project currently uses jute dust, the discarded by-product of jute plants from the factory mills, to synthesise bioplastics using precision nano-engineering in a bioreactor. The polymer product dissolves in liquid in 10 mins and degrades in the soil in just under a month and is used for the production of polybags, bio-bins and bio-packaging which has eliminated jute going to landfills in the region. Robust waste collection practises have been adopted for maximising yield while assisting in uplifting numerous unemployed men and women in the factory areas, since commercialisation has taken place. Furthermore, the economic status of over 100 jute farmers has been improved.
