Samsara Eco

Samsara Eco a biotech pioneer in infinite recycling has officially opened the doors to its purpose-built facility. Housing PC1 and PC2 laboratories, chemistry analytics, and synthetic labs, this facility isn’t just a workplace—it’s a launchpad for revolution.

Here, Samsara Eco is scaling its breakthrough enzyme technology to tackle the global crisis of hard-to-recycle plastics and textiles. Every square meter of this fitout supports a mission: to solve the plastics crisis, keeping waste out of landfill and bring circularity to the materials economy.

From just four researchers at ANU in 2021 to an 80+ strong team today, Samsara Eco’s growth demanded a space that could evolve with them. The result, a highly functional, collaborative environment featuring open-plan workstations, meeting rooms, and innovation zones, all engineered to foster scientific discovery and commercial readiness.

To align with the sustainability goals and budget parameters, FDC managed and sourced recycled furniture and materials. Every selection was intentional, reinforcing the project’s commitment to circularity without compromising on aesthetics.

Value management played a pivotal role in shaping the final design. Strategic decisions such as removing timber ceilings allowed for significant cost savings while preserving the high-end finish and architectural integrity of the space. The result is a facility that feels premium, performs efficiently, and reflects a deep respect for both budget and planet.

Bringing together innovators, chemists, and engineers, FDC have delivered an optimised space where Samsara Eco can produce their enzymes to create a waste-free future, paving the way for genuine sustainable change.
