About the company

Genecis is a Canadian biotechnology company developing microbes and a fermentation process to upcycle waste into high-value materials, such as bioplastics. Genecis’ biological processes convert food waste and carbon sources destined for landfill into valuable materials. Genecis is on a mission to drive the world towards a circular economy, where major brands utilize eco-friendly PHA plastics in packaging, food services, agriculture, textiles and many other areas to reduce the 18 billion pounds of plastic polluting oceans every year.
