We are harnessing the power of biology to convert agricultural waste streams into specialty chemicals.

From peel and pulp waste to specialty and commodity chemicals! yeast are engineered to utilize D-galacturonic acid and D-glucose, and produce meso-galactaric acid from citrus peel https://t.co/COmmU5JIaO @BigIdeasContest @ZestBioInc #NBThighlight

We are excited for @ABSugarplc commitment to #ecofriendly #plastics. We hope plastics made from agricultural sidestreams can be part of that future. https://t.co/kM84PHhPEo

[ABF Sugar @ABFSugarplc]

Our vision is that all our #plastic packaging will be reusable, recyclable, biodegradable or compostable by 2030 https://t.co/wEuMPu6xEP

[ZestBio @ZestBioInc]

@ABSugarplc We applaud your #sustainability goals! We are also working to develop solutions to add value and improve the sustainability of agricultural co-products.

Controlling the growth conditions for Mylo encourages the mycelium to grow upward, allowing them to self-assemble into an organized mat of interconnected cells. And in June we will assemble Mylo into a first-of-its-kind bag #BoltsNextBigThing https://t.co/zQqpPnrYG6
