Description:

Genecis is an early-stage organic waste processing startup that uses biotechnology to convert waste into biodegradable plastics and other high-value materials. It converts organic waste into PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoate), a biodegradable, compostable, and non-toxic polymer that can be tuned to replace a wide variety of traditional plastics. PHA can be used for single-use plastics, clothing and textiles, automotive interiors, medical tools and products, and food contact applications.
