Company

AmberCycle Industries is a technology leader for the chemical industry. We deliver new, intuitive manufacturing processes that enable our partners to produce intermediate and amalgamate plastics from our renewable feedstocks. These chemicals serve as the basis for manufacturing sustainable products that make modern life possible, and our processes enable the production of the exact same intermediate and basic chemicals core of the chemical and material production industry. We expect our processes will deliver better economics with enhanced sustainability and a smaller environmental footprint than conventional petroleum-based manufacturing processes.

Our unique synthetic biology platform allows us to create fermentation-based manufacturing processes and to engineer efficient microorganisms that drive the conversion of discarded feedstocks into chemicals. We are developing a pipeline of manufacturing processes for the production of these chemicals, including our first target chemical, purified terephthalic acid, or PTA.
