Founded in 2020 in Gironde, France, Dionymer develops and manufactures PolyHydroxyAlcanoates (PHA) derived from biodéchets sourced from collective catering outlets. These biopolymers serve as sustainable, fully biodegradable alternatives to the 99 % petrochemical polymers currently used in cosmetics, plastics, and paints. By valorising organic waste, the startup targets a share of the 400-million-tonne global polymer market while reducing carbon emissions and microplastic pollution. To date the company has focused on scaling its proprietary production process; the new capital will finance its transition from pure production to active commercial sales. Management emphasises that the forthcoming phase will include market entry and broader industrial deployment. Dionymer’s technology positions it for both environmental impact and regulatory tailwinds as industries seek greener materials, though no revenue or customer figures have yet been disclosed. Earlier seed financings totalled €2.5 million, and the firm is now poised to accelerate go-to-market execution with expanded manufacturing capacity.

Synboli is a Bordeaux-based deep-tech spin-out of the CNRS and the University of Bordeaux that applies AI-driven molecular analysis to accelerate the discovery of sustainable polymers. Its platform screens billions of molecular structures to pinpoint optimal candidates, then employs a proprietary synthesis process to rapidly produce the materials. The resulting polymers are intended to be fully biodegradable, biosourced, and free of toxic substances while matching or exceeding the performance of conventional plastics. Synboli’s roadmap includes building the world’s largest polymer database and scaling its R&D capabilities. To that end, the company plans to open an advanced laboratory in Bordeaux in November. The recent capital injection provides the resources needed for team expansion, enhanced data infrastructure, and accelerated commercial collaborations.
