AI Enzymatic Recycling Plants
Samsara Eco Unveils its First Recycling Plant in New South Wales
Kanesa D — September 5, 2025
Australia is tackling plastic waste with the launch of Samsara Eco’s first enzymatic recycling plant in Jerrabomberra, New South Wales. Using the company’s innovative EosEco technology, the facility breaks down plastics with AI-designed enzymes, turning waste into reusable, virgin-quality materials.
The plant produces recycled nylon 6,6 and polyester at a commercial scale, but the technology also targets hard-to-recycle plastics in packaging, including flexible and multi-layer formats. By converting mixed plastics back into their original building blocks, Samsara Eco aims to create a closed-loop recycling solution for textiles, packaging, and other industries, thereby helping to reduce landfill waste and carbon emissions.
“By using enzymes, we break down plastics to their original building blocks, helping to solve for previously unrecyclable packaging. We’ve designed our process with our end customer in mind. Our materials plug directly into existing supply chains, allowing easy adoption for brands to swap virgin materials for recycled materials," said Paul Riley, CEO and funder of Samsara Eco told PKN.
