Through our innovative patented advanced bio-conversion technology; Chemolex Company
currently utilizes invasive water hyacinth plants from Lake Victoria to produce sustainable,
reusable and 100% biodegradable Biopactic material alternative film; that is a direct and
superior replacement to the conventional single-use plastic polymers film in food and product
packaging as well as in diaper and sanitary products production.
The Biopactic material alternative is a revolutionary product that can significantly reduce the
carbon footprint and eliminate the adverse health and environmental impacts of single-use
plastic polymers wastes from food and product packaging as well as diapers and sanitary
towel industries.
Through continuous research and process development; Chemolex Company have developed
and patented an innovative and commercially viable precision bio-conversion technology that
can utilize the invasive water hyacinth that is currently a menace on Lake Victoria and many
fresh water bodies in developing countries; to superior quality Biopactic material.
The organization currently produces 1 ton of the Biopactic material per month that is supplied to
food and product packaging companies in Kenya to replace single-use plastic films in
packaging.
Chemolex organization have also utilized the roots of the invasive water hyacinth that are
regarded as wastes to produce Biogas energy that is currently supplied to 150 women along
the Lake region for purposes of operating hotel businesses and frying fish before vending.
This has reduced the use of expensive, inefficient and carbon-emitting energy sources such as
firewood, charcoal and cow-dung.
The ultimate aim of the Biopactic material is to provide a superior replacement to plastic
polymers (polypropylene, polyethylene) in critical industries such as packaging and product
manufacturing while also addressing the global threat of the invasive water-hyacinth plants in
more than 1000 fresh-water ecosystems worldwide.
