Newlight is a biotechnology company producing advanced sustainable materials. Newlight was founded in 2003 with a question: why can’t we use greenhouse gas as a force for good? 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.
