Hongkonger George Chen Dah-ren is on a mission to combat the growing global problem of plastic waste using innovative approaches, after years of frustration from tackling misconceptions about what true sustainability means.
With this in mind, he founded green biotech company Ecoinno.
“Confusion abounds about what is ‘eco-friendly’ and what is ‘biodegradable’. An eco-friendly product may shrink or break into smaller pieces, but that’s not the same as being truly biodegradable,” Chen explained.
His company offers real, science-based solutions to the environmental crisis with its patented Green Composite Material (GCM), a 100 per cent biodegradable alternative to single-use plastics.
“What we’ve done is fundamentally different. Our GCM uses quintillion hydrogen bonding technology, and we’ve mastered a 3D, multilevel, low-pressure solidification process,” he said.
“It’s stable, innovative, and, most importantly, biodegradable at ambient temperature.”
