We support the principles that underpin the Paris Agreement and are proud of our ability to contribute to meaningful technological change to slow and ultimately reverse the impacts of climate change.
To develop new materials, digging in the same old mine won’t surface new jewels. We’re rethinking material innovation with biology—the ultimate manufacturing system—using technology to identify promising new molecules.
The world’s hunger for sustainable technologies is growing. We need to plant the seeds of change now to realize bio-inspired products that are green in every sense.
The planet is burning—in large part because of our cell phones. Cell phone manufacturing is a significant contributor to rising global temperatures, and as the smartphone wars continue to heat up, so does the planet.
We believe the best solution to reducing pesticide contamination in our environment is to develop safer pest control and weed control methods. Prior solutions were the answer for the 20th century. Our aim is to make the 21st century the era of solutions using biology for agriculture.
