And these technologies like ours create the opportunity to modify waist streams into value added products. When we do that, we think about it at the molecular layer. And so we think about taking in waste molecules and using enzymes through an enzyatic cascade to convert those into chemical products of value. And because of the nature of those waist streams, these tend to be more sustainable processes than what are used mostly today to produce chemicals which are oil and gas feed stocks and um high temperature, high pressure or even toxic processes for manufacturing. So by and large we're using um biology to create more sustainable chemical manufacturing.
