About every carbon
EveryCarbon is a startup that converts organic waste materials into high-quality biopolymers. At the core is a fermentation process in which natural microbial communities are combined with tailored high-performance production strains so that even mixed biomass waste streams can be processed together. The technology combines robust microbial conversion routes with thermochemical processes, thereby producing bio-based specialty chemicals and polymer materials. According to the company, the resulting materials are suitable for demanding applications, including high-temperature-resistant molded parts and extruded foams. EveryCarbon also designs the solution as an upgrade to existing waste disposal infrastructure for decentralized production of industrial materials. The company cites a target volume of converting 1,000 tons of organic waste; in Germany alone it sees a potential of 12 million tons of biomass waste. The company, first published in 2024, comprises a team of five members according to its website.
