Rethinking the organic waste management chain.

Through the use of genetically improved insects and a carbon negative modular process, we transform organic waste into high value-added products that will build the next generation of raw materials and allow us to achieve a sustainable global productive matrix, before 2050.

We breed specific insects and use them to process organic waste in 20 foot-long modular and scalable units called bioreactors which we license to our clients.
This hermetic modular infrastructure allows us to integrate our units into the existing waste infrastructure of our clients and, through a carbon negative process, completely convert their waste into high-value and low-impact protein, fertilizer and recombinant proteins.
 

Our synthetic biology platform enables us to transform any organic waste into recombinant proteins such as peptides, enzymes, functional ingredients, among others.We genetically design insects with CRISPR-CAS and automate the egg production, aligned with this new genetic design. These eggs are later used in our modular units to process organic waste. As insects eat the organic waste, they grow in biomass and increase their expression of any recombinant protein.
