ZymoChem

About

ZymoChem is focused on addressing the significant environmental impact of petroleum-based materials that are integral to countless everyday products, from the nylon in our clothing to the absorbent materials in hygiene products. Many customers and industries are grappling with the challenge of reducing their carbon footprint and finding sustainable alternatives without sacrificing product performance or economic viability. Traditional manufacturing processes for these materials are often carbon-intensive and result in products that persist in the environment for hundreds of years, contributing to global environmental and climate crises. This is why ZymoChem is dedicated to pioneering a fossil-free future by developing and scaling bio-based materials. Our customers, ranging from the hygiene industry to textiles and plastics manufacturers, are seeking innovative solutions to meet growing consumer demand for sustainability and to comply with evolving environmental regulations. ZymoChem's breakthrough Carbon Conserving (C2) microbial technology directly addresses these needs. Our proprietary C2 microbes efficiently convert renewable feedstocks, like sugars, into high-performance, bio-based materials. This process radically minimizes CO2 loss during production, offering a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to conventional methods. For instance, our BAYSE™ technology provides a scalable, bio-based, microplastic-free, and biodegradable Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) as a drop-in replacement for traditional fossil fuel-based SAPs used in diapers and other hygiene products. This not only helps our customers reduce their environmental impact but also enables them to offer more sustainable products to end-consumers who are increasingly conscious of the lifecycle of the goods they purchase. By providing solutions that don't compromise on cost, performance, or scale, ZymoChem empowers industries to transition towards a real-zero, circular economy.
