Our way of life is built on carbon, from our fuel sources to the materials in our consumer products, but we need a more sustainable way to source it to protect the future of our planet.
LanzaTech Global, Inc. is the carbon recycling company transforming waste carbon into sustainable raw materials for everyday products. Using its biorecycling technology, LanzaTech captures carbon-rich gases generated by energy-intensive industries at the source, preventing them from being emitted into the air. LanzaTech then gives that captured carbon a new life as a sustainable replacement for virgin fossil carbon in everything from household cleaners and clothing fibers to packaging and fuels. By partnering with companies across the global supply chain like ArcelorMittal, Zara, H&M Move and Coty, LanzaTech is paving the way for a circular carbon economy.
Microplastics are now found everywhere on the planet — in our soils, our water, our own bodies. Ecovia Bio is tackling a piece of that problem: high-performance, biodegradable polymers that match the performance of plastics, without the environmental or health toll.
For decades, polyacrylates and polyacrylamides have quietly done the heavy lifting behind products we use every day — retaining moisture in lotions, absorbing fluid in diapers and feminine care products, holding water in soil. They work. But they're synthetic, petroleum-derived plastics that don't break down.
Ecovia Bio makes the alternative nature already perfected. Our Ecovia™ Biopolymers, produced through microbial fermentation of poly-gamma-glutamic acid (PGA), are a fully biobased, biodegradable substitute — built to match performance, without leaving the same legacy behind.
In cosmetics and personal care, our PGA delivers the moisture retention and skin-feel of conventional polyacrylates in a biodegradable, skin-friendly format. In hygiene and feminine care, it performs as a super-absorbent alternative to petrochemical-based materials. And in agriculture, it improves soil water retention and nutrient efficiency — helping crops thrive while reducing environmental nitrogen loss.
Nature's original biopolymer, now doing the job plastics have done for too long.
