Genecis is solving the climate crises of organic waste and plastic pollution with one circular economy solution: bioplastic made from food waste.

PHA can be used for single-use plastics, clothing and textiles, automotive interiors, medical tools and products, and food contact applications. By using organic waste for PHA production, Genecis’ process is lower-cost and lower-emission than competitors’, offering a circular economy solution for waste valorization and sustainable product development.
