Ecological Design
At Primitives Biodesign, we are engineering functional and intelligent biomaterials that advance environmental conservation and greenhouse gas reduction. By harnessing the intelligence of biology, we have developed a portfolio of products that deliver ecosystem benefits and emissions reductions across its entire lifecycle.
Technology
Together with a network of scientists, non-profits and environmental advocacy organizations, we conduct research to develop new environmentally sustainable materials that can be functionallized and integrated into different applications. We publish articles and papers in renowned journals and conferences, to make our work available to others.
Culture
We aim to build a future that serves us all. We consistently engage in critical dialogue and reflection upon our innovations to ensure that our work is building the future we want to see. In our culture program, we collaborate with artists and designers to imagine and build experiences that foster public dialogue about humanity’s relationship with the natural world.
Education
We facilitate people from all skill levels and backgrounds, to make radical innovations. We develop tools and enabling technologies that inspire imagination and invention. Through these tools and workshops, we increase access to traditionally inaccessible knowledge from chemical and biological fields. We also organize eco-field trips and site visits to foster environmental stewardship.
Partnerships
The problem we’re tackling is complex and multi-faceted. We partner with stakeholders throughout the entire material-product lifecycle to create strategies that are holistic and uncompromising. We work with waste management facilities, federal and local governments, supply chain consultants, other bio-based materials innovators, environmental conservation groups, and even CPG and chemical companies to identify methods to implement new material systems into the global supply chain.
