In New York City, executives at bioplastics maker Danimer Scientific rang the New York Stock Exchange closing bell on Monday, April 17th, to mark the beginning of Earth Week.
CEO Stephen Croskrey, who was joined on the podium by members of Danimer’s management team and board members past and present, called the event a privilege and a celebration of Danimer’s accomplishments.
“As interest continues to grow in alternatives to conventional petroleum-based plastics, we envision a bright future ahead for our sustainably sourced bioplastics, which have a wide variety of practical food-contact applications and are 100% compostable, helping to meaningfully combat the plastic waste crisis,” he says in a press statement.
Danimer Scientific produces polyhydroxyalkanoate, a 100% biodegradable bioplastic produced using canola oil as a primary feedstock. Danimer began trading under the ticker symbol DNMR on the New York Stock Exchange on December 30, 2020.
