Plastics are pervasive, in our world they go into everything from cars to clothing. Plastic is made from petroleum, and petroleum is associated with economic, environmental, and political ramifications.

Ambercycle makes plastic recycling profitable and sustainable by using synthetic biology to engineer custom-tailored organisms that can degrade plastics into its basic building blocks, which can be sold in the world commodity market or directly to consumer product companies seeking sustainably sourced materials.
