Harnessing biotech to tackle some of the world's biggest problems.

At Synbiote, we have taken nature as our biggest inspiration to find the most innovative and intuitive ways to tackle climate crisis.

From manufacturing practices to waste management, we believe that biotech holds the key to unlocking a sustainable future.

Synbiote was founded by a diverse team of scientists and product designer.

Starting with sörzero, our first foray into sustainable product development was a biotech-based FMCG project reimagining the brewing process for non-alcoholic beer. Launching sörzero from concept to market in under 150 days was a bold statement of our team's resilience, agility, and ability to apply rigorous scientific principles to commercial product development.

Every dollar we earn from sörzero is channelled back into our R&D initiatives in biotech. Learn how you can be part of our quest by buying sörzero.

Building on sörzero's success, we are developing Biota360, a BioAcrylic made from bio-waste that decomposes naturally in weeks, not millennia.

Find out why our BioAcrylic is better than the current alternatives.

Our vision

  • We strive to turn today’s refuse into tomorrow’s resources. Our vision is to transform the product development process from waste-creating to resource-saving. Through Biota360 and sörzero, our mission is to use biotech for global welfare.


Meet sörzero

sörzero is the world’s first non-alcoholic tea-based beer that has been crafted from the molecule up to bypass fermentation and achieve 0.00% ABV.

Sustainably brewed in Sydney, Australia, sörzero uses energy-saving methods and Biota360’s proprietary technology to repurpose the post-brew waste. At only 20 calories per can, this is one beer that is good for you and won't harm the planet.
