Ep. 125 - Mark Herrema: Making Biomaterials from Greenhouse Gas

Dec 5, 2022
56:13

Mark Herrema is the CEO and founder of Newlight Technologies, a company with an out of this world solution to climate change.

By using nature as a guide, they’re able to pull carbon and greenhouse gasses straight from the air and create a physical, plastic-like material they call AirCarbon, which can be used to make everything from cutlery to straws to clothing and just about anything else plastic can make.

There’s one huge difference… AirCarbon is biodegradable (even faster than paper), and is truly one of the most realistic, impressive solutions I’ve ever encountered to drawing down carbon. And it’s not just me who’s taking notice… They’ve raised over 100 million in funding, and they have partners like Nike, Dell, Amazon Web Services and more.
