"Not My Problem"...any more. BAYSE™ is accelerating the industry's shift to an alternate end of life. #FossilFuelFuture
I share 1 impactful startup story (almost) everyday| Freelance Writer for Earth-friendly brands| Aspiring Vegan and Minimalist
300,000 diapers are incinerated or thrown in a landfill every minute. This brand wants to solve this problem… Let’s talk about disposable, absorbent hygiene products. Such as diapers and menstrual care products. These products contain a super absorbent polymer (SAP). Which prevents leakage of liquids. Most people wouldn’t have heard of SAP. But it’s the primary component of these products. Now, SAPs are mostly fossil fuel-based. So their sourcing and production aren’t planet-friendly. As it leads to greenhouse gas emissions. Also, they take decades or centuries to degrade. ZymoChem is solving this problem. Through BAYSE™ It’s a 100% bio-based SAP. 🩲 It is made from renewable resources. 🩲 Has a lower carbon footprint. 🩲 And it is plastic-free and readily biodegradable. ZymoChem uses a proprietary biomanufacturing technology. Which keeps the cost of BAYSE™ competitive Ensuring sustainability without extra costs. The primary market for BAYSE™ is hygiene products. But it can also be applied to other fields. Such as agriculture, cosmetics, and water treatment. It can help brands like Pampers and Always. To move to a more sustainable path. ::::::: Story 463/500- on a spree to publish 500 impactful stories in 500 days.

Learn from SynBioBeta about the change we are sparking at ZymoChem. #FossilFreeFuture
🌿 Revolutionizing the Hygiene Industry with ZymoChem 🌿 Last week, ZymoChem made a groundbreaking announcement that could reshape the hygiene industry and our environmental footprint (link to that story is in this article in case you missed it). Introducing BAYSE™, the world's first scalable, 100% bio-based, and biodegradable super absorbent polymer. In this week's SynBioBeta Insights article Katia Tarasava, caught up with the team at ZymoChem to find out a bit more about the organization and its new discovery. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eyChs_W5 The impact of disposable hygiene products on our planet is staggering, with 300,000 diapers entering landfills or incinerated every minute. Traditional super absorbent polymers (SAPs) in these products are not recyclable, leading to persistent waste and microplastic pollution. ZymoChem’s BAYSE™ material offers a sustainable alternative without compromising on performance, marking a pivotal shift towards a fossil-free future. While speaking with Harshal Chokhawala, founder ad CEO of ZymoChem, Katia was able to find out that what sets his organization apart is their innovative use of synthetic biology to create renewable materials. By harnessing the power of enzymes and organic chemistry, ZymoChem has developed a fermentation platform that converts renewable feedstocks into high-value, biodegradable materials. This breakthrough not only addresses the urgent need for sustainable hygiene products but also opens doors for applications in agriculture, cosmetics, and water treatment. As consumers and regulatory bodies become more conscious of plastic waste, ZymoChem’s BAYSE™ bio-SAP is poised to lead a new era of eco-friendly personal care products. This is more than just a technological achievement; it's a step towards a healthier planet and a sustainable future for the next generation. 🌍✨ Make sure you check out the full piece! #Sustainability #Innovation #SyntheticBiology #EnvironmentalImpact #HygieneIndustry #ZymoChem #BioBasedMaterials #Microplastics #CircularEconomy
