ZymoChem is breakthrough science for a fossil-free future. We develop bio-based materials for everyday products without compromising Cost, Performance, Scale, or Sustainability. Since 2015, ZymoChem has refined its processes and patented technologies to replace petroleum ingredients and become one of the world’s most efficient biomanufacturing platforms.

Materials underpinning our lives are made from fossil inputs with carbon-intense manufacturing and persist for hundreds of years, leading to global environmental and climate crises.  We envision a world in which the goods we depend on every day — from personal hygiene items to textiles — are bio-manufactured from 100% renewable materials and designed for a sustainable economy — without compromise.
Our platform is powered by proprietary carbon conserving (C²) microbes that convert renewable feedstocks into high-value materials while radically minimizing CO₂ loss during the production phase.  With this breakthrough technology, we are catalyzing a real-zero economy with drop-in, bio-based solutions.

In 2024, ZymoChem closed a $21M Series A round of fundraising to support the launch of ZymoChem’s first high-performance material, BAYSE™, and to advance our first partnered product to commercial scale.  In addition to this funding from premier domestic & international venture capital firms, we are also supported by existing revenues from commercial partnerships with world-leading companies and funding from multiple government awards, including a 2023 $4 grant from the Department of Energy.

Our Mission: To catalyze a real-zero economy with drop-in, bio-based solutions.

Our Vision: To live in a world in which the goods we depend on every day are bio-manufactured from 100% renewable materials and designed for a sustainable economy – without compromise.

Our Values: 

• Lead with Compassion:  We are empathetic operators who are respectful of individuals and the environment around us.
• Aspire Collectively:  We recognize that meaningful change is only possible when we take a collaborative approach.
• Evolve Continuously:  We apply creativity and our fast, flexible approach when tackling the world’s most audacious problems.
• Innovate with Impact:  We are planting the seeds of tomorrow’s innovation to benefit our stakeholders and inspire the globe.
• Scale Sustainably:  We seek sustained growth in a thoughtful, repeatable, and productive way.
