How AirCarbon Is Turning Greenhouse Gases Into Ocean-Friendly Plastic Alternatives
As World Oceans Day approaches on June 8, 2025, we are reminded of the urgent need to protect our blue planet. This year's theme, 'Sustainable Fishing Means More,' highlights the growing demand for innovation to preserve marine ecosystems and fight climate change. Among the most promising breakthroughs in ocean-inspired sustainability is AirCarbon®, a regenerative, carbon-negative material created by Newlight Technologies. The Science: From Microbes to Materials AirCarbon® was born from an extraordinary scientific discovery. While researching oil spills, scientists observed oceanic microorganisms consuming methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and naturally producing Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) within their cells. This polymer mimics the characteristics of polypropylene, a common plastic, but with a critical difference: PHB is biodegradable and renewable. Newlight Technologies scaled this biological process into a commercially viable innovation. Using air and greenhouse gases dissolved in water, they produce AirCarbon®, a plastic alternative now used in cutlery, straws, eyewear, leather substitutes, and more. With over 50 patents and more than a decade of R&D, AirCarbon® offers an elegant, market-driven solution to reduce plastic waste and climate impact. AirCarbon® isn't just a promising innovation—it's already making waves across industries. Companies like Nike and H&M have partnered with Newlight Technologies to incorporate AirCarbon® into sustainable fashion collections, while Shake Shack, Target, and Ben & Jerry's have piloted its use in foodware to reduce single-use plastic waste. In hospitality, Marriott International has adopted AirCarbon® utensils in select locations, and in the automotive space, Sumitomo Chemical is exploring its potential for carbon-negative materials. These partnerships demonstrate AirCarbon's versatility and growing role in helping brands meet their environmental commitments. Scaling Sustainability In recent developments, Newlight announced plans for a $1.1 billion manufacturing facility in Manitoba, Canada, further expanding their capacity to meet the demand for sustainable materials. This follows a $125 million equity round led by GenZero, reinforcing the company's path toward industrial-scale impact. As governments and corporations seek actionable ways to meet ESG targets, AirCarbon® stands out as a proven alternative—both technologically and environmentally sound. Featured on the RENEWables Podcast To explore the deeper implications of this breakthrough, Mark Herrema, Co-Founder & CEO of Newlight Technologies, joined the RENEWables podcast. In Episode #36, Herrema shares the origin story of AirCarbon®, the challenges of scaling biological innovation, and how circular economy principles can guide the future of materials. 'AirCarbon is not just about replacing plastic—it's about capturing carbon, restoring balance, and rethinking how we interact with the natural world.' — Mark Herrema Don't miss this powerful to the full episode of RENEWables featuring Mark Herrema here: RENEWables #36: AirCarbon ®Share the episode with your network to help elevate solutions that matter this World Oceans Day.

HistoSonics Completes Enrollment in #HOPE4KIDNEY Trial Evaluating Non-Invasive Histotripsy to Treat Kidney Tumors
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- HistoSonics, Inc., the manufacturer of the Edison® Histotripsy System and novel histotripsy therapy platforms, today announced the completion of patient enrollment in its pivotal #HOPE4KIDNEY trial. This prospective, multi-center, single-arm trial is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Edison System in destroying kidney tissue by treating primary solid kidney tumors. 'Our vision is for the Edison System to become a foundational, non-invasive solution across a wide range of clinical applications,' said Mike Blue, President and CEO, HistoSonics. The trial enrolled patients with a single, non-metastatic solid kidney mass ≤3 cm, confirmed by imaging and biopsy. Subjects will be followed for five years post-procedure, with evaluations at multiple time points, including 14-day, 30-day, 90-day, 180-day, and annual assessments. The Edison System remains in investigational use for kidney applications and is not yet FDA-approved for this indication. Data from the #HOPE4KIDNEY trial is expected to support a future submission for regulatory clearance to expand the use of histotripsy to treat kidney tissue/tumors. The Edison System is the first and only platform to use histotripsy, a non-thermal, non-invasive focused ultrasound technology, to mechanically liquefy tumors without surgery, radiation, or systemic therapies. Unlike invasive surgical approaches, histotripsy does not require incisions and enables real-time imaging and treatment monitoring, allowing physicians to target and control tissue destruction while sparing surrounding structures. 'Our vision is for the Edison System to become a foundational, non-invasive solution across a wide range of clinical applications,' said Mike Blue, President and CEO, HistoSonics. 'Completing enrollment in our pivotal kidney tumor trial represents a significant milestone toward that goal and reinforces our confidence in expanding histotripsy into additional tumor types and indications. This achievement reflects the dedication of our team and clinical partners and brings us closer to transforming the treatment of solid tumors without the need for surgery.' Dr. William C. Huang, MD FACS, Professor and Vice Chair of Urology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine serves as a principal investigator at the NYU Langone Medical Center, the top enrolling site in the trial. Dr. Huang commented, 'Histotripsy offers a novel, completely non-invasive treatment paradigm for kidney tumors that precisely images and treats tumors while preserving surrounding critical structures thereby minimizing the morbidity associated with traditional surgical and thermal ablative techniques.' Dr. Michael McDonald, Assistant Professor of Urology at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine and Urologic Surgeon at AdventHealth at Celebration Florida, serves as a principal investigator for one of the participating sites in the trial. Dr. McDonald commented, 'HistoSonics represents a paradigm shift proving that the most profound treatments for both benign and malignant diseases need not be the most invasive. The ability to precisely target and destroy tumors without scalpel or scar is the next step in the evolution of non-surgical intervention.' The Edison System has not been evaluated for the treatment of any specific disease, including, but not limited to, cancer or evaluated any specific cancer outcomes (such as local tumour progression, 5-year survival or overall survival). United States Intended Use Statement: The Edison System is intended for the non-invasive mechanical destruction of liver tumors, including the partial or complete destruction of unresectable liver tumors via histotripsy. The FDA has not evaluated the Edison System for the treatment of any disease including, but not limited to, cancer or evaluated any specific cancer outcomes (such as local tumor progression, 5-year survival or overall survival). The System should only be used by physicians who have completed training performed by HistoSonics, and its use guided by the clinical judgment of an appropriately trained physician. Refer to the device Instructions for Use for a complete list of warnings, precautions, and a summary of clinical trial results, including reported adverse events. About HistoSonics HistoSonics is a privately held medical device company developing a non-invasive platform and proprietary sonic beam therapy utilizing the science of histotripsy, a novel mechanism of action that uses focused ultrasound to mechanically destroy and liquify unwanted tissue and tumors. The company is currently focused on commercializing their Edison System in the US and select global markets for liver treatment while expanding histotripsy applications into other organs like kidney, pancreas, prostate, and others. HistoSonics has offices in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Minneapolis, MN. For more information on the Edison Histotripsy System please visit: For patient-related information please visit:
