  • Protective coatings
  • Polymer production
  • Cosmetic formulations

Leading the circular economy movement

Phycus Biotechnologies contributes to Ontario’s growing biotechnology sector through its commitment to green chemistry. The company’s process creates a closed carbon cycle, where the product begins as atmospheric CO2 and naturally returns to the atmosphere upon biodegradation.

Quality assurance

Unlike traditional manufacturers, Phycus Biotechnologies’ production method eliminates common impurities such as sulfates and dichloroacetic acid, ensuring a cleaner final product for all applications.
