Development of New Sustainable Innovations by Envu and BioConsortia

Cary, NC., March 05, 2025 — Envu, a global environmental science company providing forward-thinking innovations that protect and enhance the health of environments around the world, announced a new partnership with BioConsortia, an innovator in microbial crop solutions, to evaluate and develop biological solutions for non-crop applications in the environmental science industry.

This collaboration reflects the growing demand for sustainable alternatives for pest management and plant protection, driven by both consumer demand and increasing regulatory pressures. By pairing BioConsortia’s cutting-edge technology with the product commercialization expertise at Envu, the partnership is positioned to meet these growing needs.

“Biological solutions are a critical part of our sustainability commitment to nature-positive innovation,” said Bernard Jacqmin, head of global innovation for Envu. “Through our work with BioConsortia, we hope to enhance our portfolio with forward-thinking innovations that complement existing modes of action. For our customer, this means an expanded range of sustainable solutions to help them meet their toughest challenges.”

Strategic Collaboration
The collaboration between BioConsortia and Envu supports both companies’ strategic objectives and a shared vision of driving innovation that balances the needs of society and nature while providing superior solutions for customers.

BioConsortia uses its patented Advanced Microbial Selection™ (AMS) process and GenePro™ platform, along with advanced genomics techniques, for the discovery, design and selection of microbes. These cutting-edge technologies enable the company to effectively predict and harness the natural power of microbes. Envu is leveraging its proven track record in technology development and commercialization in the environmental science space, as well as its global reach and deep understanding of regulatory landscapes and customer needs, to accelerate the adoption of biological solutions in environmental science markets.

“For BioConsortia, this is an exciting opportunity to demonstrate our dedication to biocontrol innovation and bring our cutting-edge technologies into new markets,” said Dr. Hong Zhu, senior vice president of research and development at BioConsortia. “The expertise found at Envu in non-crop sectors, like professional pest management and turf and ornamentals, makes them the perfect partner to help us accelerate market entry and scale solutions that reduce environmental impact.”

Expanded Commitment to Biological Solutions
In the 2024 season, Envu tested advanced biological candidates from BioConsortia’s pipeline, yielding promising results. Building on this momentum, the partnership will move forward with select candidates in 2025 while continuing to explore additional technologies in the development pipeline.
