Genecis

Genecis is an  award-winning team of scientists and engineers from distinctive backgrounds in biotechnology, biochemistry, engineering, data analytics and automation.  Genesis is commercializing their first product line – PHBVs, a high quality biodegradable plastic that is used to make thermo-resistant packaging, compostable coffee pods and 3D printing filaments. By developing a technology platform that uses organic waste as the feedstock, Genesis is able to dramatically reduce the cost of production. Our next step is to rapidly engineer bacteria that converts organic waste into high grade specialty chemicals.
