Sustainable Extricko is developing a closed loop recycling process for petrochemical derived materials like sails, with the goal of integrating end-of-life (EoL) sails into the circular economy.

In this project, they wanted to characterise microbial growth and tolerance to sail recyclates and optimise fermentation conditions to progress this technology towards scale-up and industrial application.

ŌGI Bio Ltd wanted to explore the feasibility of utilising the University of Edinburgh’s state of the art in-line dilution technology to extend the valid range of OD measurements for their microbioreactors.
