Danimer Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: DNMR) is a biotechnology company focused on the development and production of biodegradable polymers designed to replace conventional plastics. The company’s flagship offering, Nodax™ polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), is produced via a fermentation process that converts plant oils into a family of fully compostable materials. These polymers are engineered to deliver comparable performance to petrochemical‐based plastics while offering a significantly reduced environmental footprint.
Danimer Scientific’s PHA materials are formulated for use across a wide array of end markets, including flexible and rigid packaging, agricultural films, foodservice items such as straws and cutlery, coating applications, nonwoven fabrics, and personal care products. By tailoring polymer properties such as melt flow rate, tensile strength, and degradation profile, the company works closely with brand owners and converters to meet specific performance requirements while achieving marine, industrial and home compostability certifications.
The company operates multiple manufacturing sites, including a headquarters and R&D center in Bainbridge, Georgia, a large‐scale production facility in Winchester, Kentucky, and strategic partnerships in Europe to serve customers across North America, the European Union, and the Asia‐Pacific region. Through collaborations with food and beverage companies, consumer packaged goods firms and specialty compounders, Danimer Scientific has established supply agreements that integrate its biopolymers into high‐volume applications.
Founded in 2004, Danimer Scientific has grown under a leadership team composed of veterans in polymer chemistry, biotechnology and sustainable materials management. The company maintains research alliances with academic institutions and industry partners to advance its fermentation processes and broaden the applications of PHA. Guided by its mission to address plastic pollution, Danimer Scientific continues to invest in scale‐up capacity and product innovation that align with global environmental targets.
