A few weeks ago took place The Entrepreneur Fight Club in Mexico City,
\nwhere Novahub got the opportunity to meet and discuss with plenty of Start-Ups
\nand entrepreneurs with revolutionizing ideas. Today, we wanted to present you the
\nwinner of the EFC, Polybion.<\/p>\n
Polybion\u00ae is a Pioneer company in South America in the bio fabrication of
\nmaterials on an industrial scale. The company was founded on November 25th,
\n2015 by the Engeneer in BioTechnology from the Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey
\nCampus Monterrey, Axel G\u00f3mez-Ortigoza, his brother Alexis G\u00f3mez-Ortigoza,
\ngraduated in Finance from the same College, and the Dra. From the UNAM
\nB\u00e1rbara Gonz\u00e1lez Rol\u00f3n, expert in Material Sciences.<\/p>\n
They replicate natural processes of production of unique material in lab and
\nthen, on an industrial scale. The Biopolymers represent a new generation of
\nmaterials that comes from natural processes that can be reabsorbed once they
\ncan\u2019t be used.<\/p>\n
As the global population keeps growing, the ressources available
\nstay limited, therefore, the goal for Polybion\u00ae was to find the most profitable
\nmethods to satisfy the raising demand of material without damaging the
\nenvironment.<\/p>\n
Those new materials are cultivated instead of being manufactured.
\nThe Green Technologies and Innovation needed by the human beings are not that
\neasy to find but they exist in the nature nucleus. As a consecuence, imitate those
\nmaterials would be a great starting point to build the best future possible for the
\nHumanity. That\u2019s the main focus of Polybion\u00ae.<\/p>\n
Polybion\u00ae uses biological agents and processes to obtain biopolymers.
\nMore than just genetic modification for the biological agents used during their
\nprocesses, Polybion\u00ae is developping ameliorations in the caracteristics of the
\nmecanic of the material. The company patented in Mexico and in the US for a low-
\ncost method to modify genetically the biological organism used for the production
\nof their materials.<\/p>\n
The Business Model of Polybion\u00ae is simple, wastes as raw
\nmaterial and nature as production body. For instance, Polybion\u00ae used as raw
\nmaterial straws, wheat bran or rice peel. This circular Business Model is one of the main competitive advantage of the company and represent a great future for the
\nenvironment and climate change.<\/p>\n
Thus far, Polybion\u00ae has developped two materials:<\/p>\n
Fungicel\u00ae is a biopolymer made from fungus mycelium and agricultural wastes. It\u2019s
\na subsitute for Expensible Polystierene in most of its uses. The material has a
\nproductive process with negative carbon footprint, it\u2019s degradable and can be
\nconverted into compost in 30 days.<\/p>\n
Celium\u00ae is the first biological component developped in South Amerdica, rose from
\nbacteriums and wastes from agroindustry, can be used as a subsitute of animal
\nleather. Its production has a negative carbon footprint too and doesn\u2019t involve the
\ngrowth and death of bovines. It also requires only 10% of the water used to create
\nanimal leather, without generating methane.<\/p>\n
