We are accelerating the world's transformation to sustainable materials, by replacing fossil fuel sources with plants. We believe that all products should be responsibly sourced, traceable, and transparent — the sustainable source™. At geno, we are breaking the planet's reliance on these fossil fuels by creating something better. Our vision to drive climate action at scale starts by making the same molecules, ingredients, and materials we rely on every day, but deriving them from more sustainable sources. Spanning products across a wide variety of industries, geno’s technologies power high-performance at leading scale and volume, delivering plant-derived ingredients to some of the world’s largest brands. And with that we are shaping the creation of more transparent, traceable, and responsible global supply chains for brands and their consumers to rely on. Our technology and capabilities, developed and honed over two decades, harness the ever-increasing power of biotechnology, where microorganisms and industrial processes are designed to ferment plant sugars into materials and ingredients. geno Innovation Center is home to our world-class research and development team of engineers and scientists who have deployed more than $300 million in technology investment, collaborating to create a portfolio of 2,200 patents and applications. The IP covers product pathways, synthetic biology approaches to engineering microorganisms, processes to bio-manufacture products, their sometimes unique biological compositions, and product applications. We work closely with some of the world’s leading brands to develop solutions that align superior performance and economics with sustainability. We also produce and market our own branded products and license our geno technology to some of the world’s largest manufacturers including Novamont, Qore® (a joint venture of Cargill and HELM), Covestro, and Aquafil.

Meet Sanchari Ghosh, Ph.D., Process Design Engineer at Geno, total rock star, and one of the driving forces behind some of our products powering the #MaterialsTransition, including nylon! Check out this insightful article in The Chemical Engineer written by Adam Duckett of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) showcasing Sanchari's innovative work in bringing biomass to the masses and the path she took to get here. Speaking about her desire for partnership between petro-based companies and biotech companies like Geno, Sanchari notes, “What I really want to see is these petro-based companies and us working together for the same mission.” We’re so grateful you’re part of the Geno team, Sanchari Ghosh, Ph.D.! #Sustainability #BioTech #EarthMonth https://lnkd.in/gupzAnk7
Exciting news! Together with Hyosung Corporation TNC, Geno is powering a brighter, more sustainable future leading the #MaterialsTransition in the spandex industry. Stay tuned for the journey ahead! ♻️🌍 #EarthWeek
Happy #EarthDay! 🌎 Looking to achieve hydrated, radiant skin while also being mindful of the planet? Look no further. Thanks to the collaboration between Geno and Dermalogica you can have both. Dermalogica has seamlessly transitioned nearly 80 of their bestselling products to utilize Brontide® Natural Butylene Glycol, powered by Geno’s innovative technology. Sasha Calder our Head of Impact, recently caught up with the Dermalogica team to discuss how Geno's technology and drop-in replacement powers their sustainability efforts without compromising product performance. Here’s a sneak peek: Brontide® performs just as effectively as traditional butylene glycol but with the added benefit of being derived from plants rather than fossil fuels. It was inspiring to chat with Dermalogica’s Lori MacGregor and Morgan Francis about this collaboration, and we’re excited to witness the evolution of Dermalogica’s product lineup featuring Brontide®. This is what impact looks like - welcome to the Materials Transition.
When we embarked on our mission to shift the world towards sustainable materials, opting for plants over fossil fuels, we couldn't foresee the incredible partners who would join us. This week, we're thrilled to share the spotlight with lululemon in Textile Exchange’s highly anticipated report, "The Future of Synthetics." This report underscores the significance of our partnership as we scale up plant-based nylon production. "True collaboration is realized when a developmental or commercial hurdle occurs in either company’s area of expertise and the partners work together to find innovative ways to close the gap," remarked Geno’s Lisa Kennedy, SVP of Strategic Partnerships. Speaking to the importance of integrating innovative raw materials into existing supply chains, Patty Stapp, Senior Vice President, Global Raw Materials at lululemon says “Ultimately, the key to changing a system lies in establishing meaningful and strategic relationships with your supply chain partners.” Together, Geno and lululemon see industry collaboration as vital to enabling the adoption of more sustainable alternatives for synthetic materials like nylon concludes Sasha Calder, Geno’s VP of Impact. “We want to share our learnings, failures, and lessons along the way to shorten the learning curve for other companies.” Read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/gG_vF83b
