Our History

NewType was originally founded in 2017 to explore and test newly developed sustainable technologies for rapid commercialization.

 

In 2021, NewType was reincorporated as a for-profit public benefit company developing new business models to address plastic recycling and plastic waste challenges using enzymes improved by machine learning and artificial intelligence. 

​

NewType moved into our current headquarters at a 25,000 sq. foot manufacturing and incubation campus in 2024.

​

Our first laboratory was completed later that year.
