Verdezyne, Inc. is a mid-sized biotechnology company based in Carlsbad, California, focused on industrial biotechnology to produce chemicals from renewable, non-food sources. It has developed and is commercializing processes intended to replace petrochemical inputs with sustainable alternatives at lower cost, delivering environmental benefits. A team of scientists from the biotechnology and chemical industries developed the company's flagship products from concept through pilot demonstrations. Its production approach relies on fermentation-based methods complemented by downstream separation techniques to isolate the target chemicals. Its customers are industries seeking renewable, non-food-based chemical substitutes for consumer products, with a focus on reducing environmental impact and costs. In 2019 Verdezyne announced an expansion of its manufacturing footprint to Malaysia to build a dodecanedioic acid plant that would use lauric acid as feedstock.
