Symbl engineers microbiomes to simultaneously extract value from waste and reduce waste processing emissions.
Symbl engineers microbiomes to simultaneously extract value from waste and reduce waste processing emissions.
Microbiomes are communities of diverse microorganisms that can complement and support each other. Any single microorganism is limited in its biological potential, but Symbl's microbiomes are engineered from the bottom up to convert complex organic waste into value added bioproducts.
Each tonne of organic waste costs $20-200+ to dispose of. With Symbl, our customers generate $millions/yr from their waste streams instead, and offset processing emissions by >70%.
Symbl's first generation of microbiomes produce octanoic acid—a valuable, multifunctional ingredient used in food, personal care, agriculture and industry. Currently, octanoic acid has to be imported from palm and coconut oil sources. This supply is exposed to climate and geopolitical volatility, is increasingly expensive, and raises serious human rights and environmental concerns.
