Newlight Technologies is a California-based biotechnology company pioneering innovative approaches to capture carbon emissions and convert them into sustainable materials. “Over 10 years of research and development, Newlight developed a biotechnological process to harness microorganisms found in the ocean to convert greenhouse gas into a meltable energy material found in all living things: a naturally-occurring, biocompatible material that can be used to make fibers and solid parts, and help reduce the flow of carbon and synthetic plastic into the environment.” Newlight's vision revolves around sustainability and environmental stewardship, transforming greenhouse gases into valuable, eco-friendly products.
