Uncovered is our exploration of the companies that don’t receive as much media attention or analyst coverage. We believe every company has an interesting story and we want to hear them.

This episode focuses on Danimer Scientific, which was founded in 2004 and in 2007 purchased Procter & Gamble’s intellectual property on PHA technology. PHAs or Polyhydroxyalkanoates (let’s just go with PHAs) are polyesters produced by microorganisms.
Danimer produces PHA by feeding vegetable oil into bioreactors where it is consumed by soil borne bacteria. This bacteria produces PHA through biosynthesis. Danimer then turn this PHA into a number of bioplastic products including barrier coating for paper and board products (think, the plastic coating that makes your coffee cup waterproof) and 100% biodegradable dental flossers.
