Partnering with nature
Our material world is built with a half-dozen petroleum building blocks. But nature provides a broader, more sustainable palette.
We partner with nature to design and produce molecules, microbes, and materials that can enable customers to create new products faster, cheaper, and greener than ever before.
From high performing 3D printing material to less polluting fertilizers, water repellent paper treatments to mRNA enzymes, nature helps us make it possible. And it’s how we make the products of tomorrow.
How we do it
Our patented platform fuses biology, chemistry, and technology to unlock the power of nature. By combining molecular biology, data science, automation, and genomics, we design molecules, microbes, and materials our customers demand.
Advanced Materials for Tomorrow’s Products
Zymergen is equipped to deliver solutions across a broad range of industries today. And we believe it will enable breakthrough materials in medicine, transportation, construction, and more tomorrow.
Additive Manufacturing
Materials of tomorrow are here
A new generation of lightweight, high-performing materials has the potential to provide a leap forward in aerospace, automotive, transportation, and more. We look to nature to unlock breakthrough performance products and better ways to manufacture them.
Agriculture
The future – and footprint – of food
Crop production needs to double by 2050 to feed the growing global population, and our farmers need effective and economical solutions to overcome challenges naturally and sustainably. We are developing naturally occurring products to both enhance nutrient use and protect crops from pests and ever-evolving challenges—in a way that’s better for growers and the environment.
Electronics
Better technology begins with better biology
Electronics evolve rapidly, demanding materials with higher performance at competitive costs. We are developing polymers that can be made into new types of bio-based polyimide films, unlocking innovations for manufacturers of electronic devices and more.
Healthcare Materials
Speeding high-tech healthcare materials to market
The pandemic has shown us how millions of lives and hospitalizations can be saved by quickly getting vaccines to market. We’re making the key enzymes needed for a new generation of mRNA vaccines, and that’s just the beginning.
Packaging
No-guilt packaging for a better food experience
Food packaging is moving toward more biodegradable, recyclable paper materials as the world confronts its growing plastic waste problem. We’re working on bio-inspired solutions for paper food packaging that are not just greener, but also aim to perform better than yesterday’s paper straws.
