Epoch Biodesign acquires Spanish nylon plant

LONDON — UK-based biotechnology company Epoch Biodesign has acquired a long-established nylon 6,6 production facility in Blanes, Spain, unlocking a vertically integrated, closed-loop supply chain from plastic waste through to finished recycled polymer.

The site, formerly operated by Domo Chemicals, gives Epoch commercial-scale polymerisation capacity alongside its AI-designed enzyme platform, which breaks waste plastics down into monomers at low temperatures to produce virgin-quality recycled nylon 6,6.
