Synbiote

Synbiote is a Sydney-based biotechnology company that focuses on sustainable material innovation and waste transformation. The company utilizes proprietary technology, known as Biota360, to repurpose waste into valuable biomaterials. Their technical approach integrates expertise in commercial biotechnology, material science, product design, and artificial intelligence to develop sustainable alternatives to conventional products, such as compostable packaging derived from bio-waste. The company was co-founded by Alinta Furnell, Ismat Kabbara, and Vivid Savitri-Hampton.

Synbiote’s solutions aim to address environmental challenges by turning waste into functional resources for brands and industries. Beyond its core material development, the company has applied its technology to consumer products, including the creation of sörzero, a non-alcoholic, tea-based beer that uses proprietary methods to repurpose post-brew waste. The company offers molecular waste analysis services to help organizations identify and extract value from their waste streams, supporting a broader mission to reduce waste and promote sustainable industrial practices.
