EcoSynthetix is a Canadian company that specializes in transforming renewable resources into high-performance biomaterials to replace existing petroleum-based products. The goal of this Engage Plus proposal is to develop new bio-synthetic materials that can find potential use as agricultural additives (i.e. controlled pesticide release), drug delivery materials for human use, and the formation of water-swellable coatings for sensing or display applications, all of which would be new markets for EcoSynthetix.

EcoSynthetix是一家加拿大公司，专门将可再生资源转化为高性能生物材料，以取代现有的石油产品。该Engage Plus提案的目标是开发新的生物合成材料，这些材料可以用作农业添加剂（即控制农药释放），人类使用的药物输送材料，以及用于传感或显示应用的水溶胀涂层的形成，所有这些都将成为EcoSynthetix的新市场。
