Harnessing Greenhouse Gas to Produce Plastic Alternatives
Fossil-based plastics contribute to almost 4% of total global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Newlight, a US-based biomaterial manufacturer, aims to tackle that by harnessing GHG as a resource and turn it into a material that can be used as a plastic alternative.Newlight has developed a proprietary process to produce AirCarbon – an environmentally-degradable biomaterial made from methane and air that has the potential to be widely deployed.
GenZero, a Singapore-based investment platform company focused on accelerating decarbonisation globally, invested into Newlight to support its expansion of AirCarbon production to meet the growing demand for zero-carbon materials.
