Olivebio joins GO!PHA

GO!PHA (Global Organization for PHA) is a coalition of over 70 stakeholders with members, including material producers, brand owners, academic institutions, waste management organizations, start-ups, environmental foundations, and dedicated individuals. Their mission is promote the use of natural, renewable, and sustainable materials, such as PHA, to enable the transition to a circular economy.

The young start-up is a team made up of biologists, geneticists, and bioinformaticians brought together by the desire to solve difficult problems with far-reaching implications. Their diverse backgrounds and expertise converge on one goal – to transform the plastics industry through the development of PHA monomers, polymers, and copolymers that are: Home compostable, marine degradable, versatile, cheap to produce, free of carcinogens and endocrine disrupting chemicals, and use renewable or waste-based feedstocks.

The company is developing a PHA production process designed to lower costs, increase scalability, and improve consistency – key to making PHAs more accessible and commercially viable. OliveBio’s innovative approach sits at the intersection of cell-free molecular biology, chemistry, engineering, and AI, bringing a fresh perspective to the future of PHA production.

Renewable Carbon Plastics and OliveBio are currently planning to collaborate on a series of articles focussing on PHAs. And if you are keen to learn even more about PHAs, check out the 4th PHA World Congress we will host later this year– stay tuned! AT
