About the Company
Bondi is an organism engineering platform company. We design and produce bioidentical natural ingredients for a broad range of markets, from agriculture to the beauty industry.
We bioengineer cyanobacteria to deliver high-performing photosynthetic biofactories that fix carbon, do not require arable land and can be engineered to grow in fresh, sea or toxic water sources.
Operating on a B2B business model, our world class science team creates product ingredients that are cost-effective, natural, reliable, clean, sustainable and better for people and the planet.
Based in Sydney, Australia, we build on the powerful combination of Australia's academic environment and environmental factors to create the next generation of bioidentical natural compounds.
