Revolutionizing Sustainability Through Biotechnology
Luna Yu, the visionary CEO of Genecis Bioindustries, is transforming the way we view waste and sustainability. At just 21, she completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s in Environmental Science at the University of Toronto, co-founding and exiting two successful software startups along the way. However, it was her passion for synthetic biology and bioinformatics that inspired her groundbreaking venture: Genecis Bioindustries.
Genecis uses advanced biotechnology to convert food waste into high-value, biodegradable plastics. By leveraging bacteria, Luna and her team transform the carbons in biowaste into environmentally friendly materials like single-use utensils, packaging, and medical tools. Unlike conventional petroleum-based plastics, Genecis’ creations decompose naturally without leaving harmful microplastics behind. This innovation addresses one of the planet’s most pressing challenges—plastic pollution—while offering a sustainable alternative to industries worldwide.
Backed by $17 million in funding from Amazon and Khosla Ventures, Luna’s Toronto-based company is making waves in the green tech space. Genecis generated $5 million in revenue last year and is now preparing to launch a consumer line of plastic products for the food-and-beverage industry. Luna’s approach combines scientific innovation with business acumen, setting a new standard for sustainable solutions.
“I think the key is to offer something no other product can offer,” she says. Her work embodies this philosophy, proving that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand. By turning waste into opportunity, Luna Yu is not just redefining the plastics industry; she’s pioneering a future where environmental responsibility drives economic success. Her vision is a powerful reminder of how innovation can create a better world.
