[2] Danimer Scientific was founded in 2004 to create biodegradable and sustainable solutions to the global dependency on traditional plastics, by using biopolymer materials such as polylactic acid (PLA).

[3] In 2006, the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program awarded Danimer with a Phase 1 monetary grant of $80,000 for the "Creation of Cost Competitive Biodegradable Films from Renewable Resources for Agriculture".

[6] In January 2013, Danimer and Henkel formed a partnership to further develop bio-based hot melt adhesives for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) container packaging that are made with 50% renewable content or higher.

[14] Danimer Scientific's PHA has received several certifications for biodegradability including: anaerobic and aerobic digestion in soil, freshwater, marine, industrial and home composting.

[10] Plant based oils are transferred to Danimer Scientific’s proprietary bio-reactors and fed to naturally regenerating, soil-borne bacteria who produce PHA through biosynthesis.
