The CEO Vision, a premier business magazine celebrating excellence, sustainability and

breakthrough innovation, has recognised Ecopha Group Inc. (ECOPHA) as one of the

Most Innovative Companies to Watch in 2026.

Under the visionary leadership of Dr. Wilson Ling, ECOPHA is pioneering transformative

solutions in bioplastics and biofuels to address two of the world’s most urgent challenges:

plastic pollution and carbon emissions.

Originally founded in Malaysia in 2008 and later relocating its principal operations to

Australia, ECOPHA was incorporated in Delaware, USA in 2024 as part of its global

expansion strategy and preparation for a future Nasdaq listing. The biotechnology

company is redefining sustainable manufacturing by replacing fossil-based plastics and

fuels with scalable, commercially viable alternatives derived from non-food renewable

feedstock.

At the heart of ECOPHA’s innovation is EcoPHA, a next-generation bioplastic based on

polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), produced through advanced microbial fermentation using

Pongamia oil, a non-edible regenerative feedstock. Unlike conventional bioplastics that

rely on food crops, EcoPHA is 100 per cent bio-based, fully biodegradable, home

compostable and free from microplastics. The company has secured international

intellectual property protection through a registered PCT patent, reinforcing its

technological leadership in sustainable materials.

Complementing its bioplastics platform is SoloPHA, ECOPHA’s biofuel division producing

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and biodiesel from the same Pongamia oil feedstock. This

integrated model allows ECOPHA to simultaneously tackle plastic waste and

transportation emissions through a circular, scalable platform aligned with global

decarbonisation goals.

ECOPHA’s solutions are already being applied across multiple industries, including food

and beverage packaging, agriculture, consumer goods and pharmaceutical packaging,

where sustainability must meet stringent safety and performance standards. By ensuring

compatibility with existing infrastructure and manufacturing systems, ECOPHA enables

industries to transition towards sustainability without compromising performance or cost

competitiveness.

A key differentiator for ECOPHA is its integration of AI-driven optimisation in

bioprocessing, fermentation and supply chain management. By leveraging machine

learning and advanced biotechnology, the company enhances production efficiency,

reduces waste and accelerates commercial scalability.

“We are deeply honoured to be recognised by The CEO Vision as one of the Most

Innovative Companies to Watch in 2026,” said Dr. Wilson Ling, CEO of Ecopha Group Inc.

“Our mission is simple yet ambitious to eliminate fossil carbon from materials and energy

while building a circular bioeconomy that truly helps solve global challenges.”

With a bold vision to replace fossil-based plastics and fuels globally, ECOPHA continues

to position itself as a driving force in the bioplastic revolution and the transition to a

low-carbon future.
