BIOFACTURING:
PARTNERING WITH NATUREUsing the power of biology, we design, develop, and commercialize breakthrough products faster, cheaper, and greener than ever before.
Welcome to biofacturing.
What is biofacturing?
Building on advances in genomics, machine learning, and automation, Zymergen’s patented platform unlocks the greatest manufacturer of all: Nature. It enables us to pinpoint useful molecules in Nature’s vast catalog, produce them with biology, and scale them to market at the speed of the digital age.
The future of production
The result? Production in half the time and at a tenth of the cost of traditional methods—without energy-intensive processes, toxic chemicals, and massive infrastructure.
By partnering with Nature, we can not only make better products, but also make tomorrow a better world.
How we do it

Expanding design possibilities
Our Z-film franchise launched in 2020 with Hyaline, an electronic film with best-in-class properties in optical transparency and strength. Our portfolio of films will come together to produce displays with previously impossible performance.
Consumer Care
Enhancing consumer care
Biofacturing is ideal for making naturally-derived, bioactive ingredients for sustainable consumer care products. What better way to fight off pesky bugs than Nature itself? See how our next-generation insect repellent unlocks biology to beat back bugs.
Agriculture
Defending the future 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
