Welcome

Welcome to iGEM 2012 E at UC Davis!


AmberCycle Industries focuses on utilizing the platform of synthetic biology to improve the plastics recycling industry, by offering our customers a unique value proposition of promoting and providing for the use of environmentally sustainable material infrastructure while intuitively utilizing otherwise unusable resources.
A significant environmental problem facing the world pertains to the accumulation of plastic polymer waste products, both on land and offshore. The ecological, political, and economic repercussions of plastic accumulation have affected populations and industries alike in a significant manner, however, the technological development and profitability of investment in the business of plastic degradation has stunted the growth of such an institution.
The collegiate iGEM team at the University of California, Davis is currently engaged in engineering pathways in the degradation of poly (ethylene) terephthalate, or PET. AmberCycle Likewise, we also aim to generate a set of tools and guidelines that future iGEM teams can use to assess the realistic marketability of their project. We would like this toolkit to be applicable to a wide range of products under the field of synthetic biology, with the intent that teams and groups can take the product of laboratory based biological engineering and critically look at its real world application. In short, we wish to make successful commercial endeavors out of scientific academic work.
