Grown chemicals
not synthesized.

We work alongside nature to bring you specialty chemicals and ingredients in the most sustainable, accessible, and high-quality way, by enhancing fungi and precision fermentation.

We believe in simplifying biomanufacturing

At RebX, we are dedicated to revolutionizing specialty chemicals production. Traditional methods of extracting molecules for perfumes, sweeteners, vitamins and so on, rely on resource-intensive plant-extraction or organic synthesis, leading to significant environmental consequences.

Our mission is to address this issue by developing sustainable and cost-effective production methods that minimize resource consumption and reduce pollution. By making specialty chemicals in an accesible, scalable and environmentally-friendly manner, we aim to create a positive impact and provide consumers with guilt-free choices.

How do we do it?

We combine the best in biology and technology to teach fungi, the oldest “factories”, to produce daily-use molecules.

We engineer fungi

Using metabolic engineering we teach fungi how to produce molecules like fragrances, sweeteners, colorants, vitamins, flavors, and much more!

They ferment

We feed them with organic feedstock, and ferment them to produce the desired chemicals.

You obtain great molecules!

We're able to purify those molecules so they can be added to your favorite products with the lowest carbon-footprint.

Fragrances grown not extracted

Fragrances are mainly extracted from tons of plants or synthesized using petroleum-based and polluting compounds.
We are aiming to produce them through fermentation: sustainably, cheaper, and high-quality.

Problems of common methods

Advantages of RebX technology

Resource use

Imagine that for obtaining only 1 kg of Sclareol a natural Ambergris replacement, you’d need crop land equivalent to:

8 basketball courts
Using plant-extraction method

VS

4% of just ONE basketball court
With RebX technology

Let's use our resources wisely.

Fragrances are just the beginning...

We’re working on a portfolio of +35 molecules, paving the way to a more sustainable future at everyone’s reach.
