Sustainable Everyday Essentials / low-carbon, low-impact, deforestation-free starting with palm oil

What we do
Sun Bear Biofuture is combining cutting-edge biotechnology and computational methods.
We're producing palm oil with all of the natural benefits, minus the environmental impact.
< Why palm oil? >
Palm oil is everywhere. It has a higher yield than all other vegetable oils, a unique fat profile and can be found in 50% of packaged supermarket products.
It comes at a price to the planet. Its complex supply chains are hard to trace and create volatile prices. Plantations are created at the expense of tropical rainforest, destroying habitats and resulting in vast carbon emissions.
Company's story
Our Specialty
The Sun Bear is a vulnerable species. Its habitat has been greatly diminished by deforestation to make space for oil palm plantations. Our team is passionate about revolutionising modern supply chains and agriculture to tackle this issue and many others head-on.
We're combining 15 years founding and growing technology businesses, decades working in genetics and biotechnology, and experience at the cutting edge of robotics and AI.

Our story
Sun Bear Biofuture was born in 2022 out of a desire to use modern science and technology to have a meaningful environmental impact. We are reimagining farming to produce everyday essentials more sustainably. We’re starting by using synthetic biology, precision fermentation and machine learning to produce an alternative to palm oil. Why? Well, it’s responsible for over 500m tonnes of CO2e annually and has had a huge impact on the planet.
Sun Bear Biofuture has recently raised investment to grow our fantastic team. Our focus is very much in the lab and we’re looking for talented and exceptional people to join us on our mission.
Some defining qualities for us, so you can get a sense of what we’re about, are our values: Candid, Trusting, Nurturing, Impact-Driven and Brave. If a culture built on these values sounds like a good fit then we’d love to hear from you.
If you’re wondering why sun bears well, that's a daily reminder of our mission - there’s fewer than 1000 left in the wild largely due to deforestation. Come and join us on a real scientific and technical journey to help create a better world for all.
