Why Ozonebio

OzoneBio is a Canadian biotech company producing the world’s first emission-free adipic acid with the use of unique “zombie cells” fermentation technology. Adipic acid is one of the building blocks of nylon 6,6, a material that is used everywhere, from car parts to your favorite yoga pants, despite emissions of poisonous nitrous oxide and CO2 into the atmosphere. OzoneBio is a diverse, women-led company that has successfully produced the world’s first emission free adipic acid in record time. IndieBio, one of the most selective biotech accelerators based in San Francisco, told us we were the fastest startup to be accepted into the program. As a women-founded company, OzoneBio aims to lead the way towards a greener, better world by redefining what it really means to be “sustainable.”
