What we offer
Ourobio is an early stage synbio, biomaterials, and circular economy startup. We develop engineered microorganisms to turn food and ag processing byproducts into low-footprint biodegradable plastic resins and additives, and we work with plastic converters and brands to create more sustainable products and packaging. Our proprietary fermentation technology is unique in its ability to non-competitively co-produce two complementary biomaterials, starting with bio-based biodegradable PHA resins and indigoid pigments - lowering the cost, footprint, and difficulty of producing marketable/brandable, fully bio-based and biodegradable products and packaging.
Target group
We source sugars and proteins from food+ag processors, and our primary customers are business development, procurement, and sustainability leads at plastic converters and brands in consumer industries, who mix our colored concentrates in with larger batches of uncolored biopolymer resin(s).
