Our team

We’re a team of biologists, chemists, engineers, and designers reimagining the future of materials by collaborating with nature. We bring together our expertise in science, design, and engineering to solve one of the most problematic environmental issues of our time: plastic pollution. The nature of our work is frequently described as impossible, but we’re driven by that challenge of proving there must be a better way.

Our Values
It can be done.
We make people feel anything is possible. Not just dreamers; we're doers who transform challenges into opportunities.
Masters of our craft.
We put our passion into everything we create. We're driven by an insatiable curiosity and a deep passion for our work.
Ambitious by nature.
We create impact for ourselves and the planet. On a constant uphill journey, we are always striving to surpass our previous achievements.
We're singular.
One team, one mission, one organism. The sum of our parts creates something greater than we could achieve individually.
