Newlight Technologies

Newlight Technologies Harnessing nature's technology to help end climate change in this generation. Newlight is a biotechnology company producing advanced sustainable materials.

Founded in 2003 with a question: why can’t we use greenhouse gas as a force for good? Over 10 years of research, 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, they called it AirCarbon

In 2013, AirCarbon was named “Biomaterial of the Year” by the Nova Institute, “one of the 100 most technologically significant innovations of the year” by R&D Magazine, and “Innovation of the Year” by Popular Science in 2014, and received the prestigious EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge award in 2016. Today, Newlight has launched its new production facility - Eagle 3, and two new brands - Restore Foodware and Covalent Fashion, to help fulfill the company's mission: to protect and improve life by accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable, regenerative materials and products.

Newlight Technologies was recently featured in Urth Magazine, for capturing carbon emissions, and transforming them into products and materials.

”While the world was trying to store CO2 in the ground or taxing what was already released, another solution was brewing. The team at Newlight looked at carbon dioxide differently and, across a decade, discovered how to turn an invisible gas into a world-changing, tangible product.”

At Newlight, we believe that the Earth deserves more than just one day. Our vision is to help end climate change in our lifetime, for the generations to come. Through our carbon-negative technology, we are always looking for new ways to decarbonize industries, and displace petroleum-based plastics with Aircarbon® material.

Happy Earth Day!

We’re excited to announce that the annual AIRCARBON™ Art Contest is back, just in time to celebrate Earth Month!

You can submit your K-8 students’ artwork depicting “inventions that can help save the world,” for a chance to win $1,000 in scholarship money.

In this day and age, it can be easy to look at climate change through a lens of doom, but AIRCARBON is built on the belief that small ideas can grow into solutions to large problems. It’s up to all of us to create the future we want, and we believe we can create more change together, hand in hand, with younger generations.

The goal of the AIRCARBON Art Contest is to motivate young solutionists to create ideas for their own inventions to help end climate change and save the planet.

We’re excited to announce the newest line extension to its family of AIRCARBON home-compostable straws—AIRCARBON STRAWS in black—advancing our mission to help end climate change in this generation by creating products that work for people and the planet.

Designed with the consumer experience in mind, AIRCARBON STRAWS in black are smooth, never soggy, and home compostable, making them an ideal alternative to traditional paper straws that often get soggy during use. AIRCARBON STRAWS in black are the perfect answer for restaurants, resorts, and hotels looking to reduce their environmental footprint.

“’If we could use carbon emissions as a resource to create useful products, then potentially we could create a consumer-driven pathway to reducing carbon in the air,’ said Newlight Chief Executive Mark Herrema.”

CEO Mark Herrema recently spoke with The Wall Street Journal about scaling Aircarbon products made from greenhouse gases. Check out the link below to learn more about Newlight’s technology and our partnerships in carbon capture.

Straws, bottles and packaging made with captured greenhouse-gas are starting to reach commercial scale, offering a way for businesses making and using everyday products to reduce emissions contributing to global warming.
