Job Description
Developed for a throwaway culture, plastics have caused significant pollution to our natural environments with 90% of all plastics ever created never being recycled. More so, recent studies have identified that plastics impact goes beyond pollution to chemicals and micro-plastics that impact human and environmental health.
We believe there must be a better way and our first innovation Vivomer does just that, if nature made a plastic this would be it. Vivomer, a polymer made by microorganisms, behaves just like plastic in use, but degrades upon disposal in any natural environment. Developed through cutting-edge material science, mechanical engineering, design, and operations, Vivomer represents a groundbreaking step towards a pollution-free future.
The nature of our work is frequently described as impossible, but if like us, you’re driven by the challenge to prove that there is a better way to do things, join us. You will play a critical role in developing the future of materials, how products are created and directly contribute to reducing plastic pollution.
The Opportunity
This is a unique opportunity to help scale the future of materials, creating sustainable, high-performance alternatives to conventional plastics. As part of our team, you will:
Collaborate closely with our science and engineering teams to develop and optimise new material formulations and blends with improved physical and mechanical properties.
Source and work with novel biomaterials from around the world to make game-changing products.
Develop and trial material formulations in industrial polymer processes, including but not limited to compounding, injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion.
Work with suppliers on new materials, including incoming material analysis, testing and qualification.
