RWDC Industries

RWDC Industries is a Singapore-based biotech startup established in 2015 that is dedicated to finding sustainable solutions to combat environmental issues. The startup is particularly known for its successful development of sole-biodegradable alternatives to single-use plastic. It emphasizes the use of renewable resources, aiming to replace petroleum-based resources and plastics with its eco-friendly solutions.

The company has pioneered the production of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), a biodegradable polymer, using its novel and patented technology. The technology's differentiator resides in the utilization of plant-based oils or unavoidable food waste oils, consequently minimizing the environmental footprint. The products that RWDC Industries creates from its PHA solution range from drinking straws to cutlery, challenging the status quo of the plastic industry with sustainable alternatives.

With its unique blend of innovation, sustainability, and social consciousness, RWDC Industries has been recognized globally. It has so far attracted significant investment and won the Liveability Challenge 2018, a global platform seeking innovative sustainability solutions. The startup's objective is to continue refining and expanding its PHA solution to meet a wider range of needs, thereby offering a comprehensive replacement for traditional plastics.
