Description:

Humble Bee Bio is a startup that combines the power of synthetic biology and a recipe from a solitary bee to help solve plastic pollution. Humble Bee Bio discovered a solitary bee species that produces a remarkable bioplastic. The company is developing a method to manufacture this material on a large scale using microbes, based on the genetic blueprint of bees. The DNA of bees provides a platform for engineering sustainable materials with tailored properties for a wide range of market applications. Humble Bee Bio's mission is to remove plastic pollution from the realm of individual responsibility and replace the materials used by industry in the production of consumer goods.
