Advancing Clean Chemistry
Through Open Science
Replacing toxic industrial catalysts with food‑grade alternatives — beginning with textile finishing, and open‑sourced to the researchers shaping what comes next.
Our Mission in 6 Minutes
Our goals, our mission, our model and our values.
Eight Frontiers of Clean Chemistry
Textile Finishing
Formaldehyde-free wrinkle resistance and durable press finishing for fabrics.
Barrier Coatings
PFAS-free water and grease resistance for food packaging and paper products.
Adhesives
Formaldehyde-free wood adhesives and bio-based bonding agents.
Flame Retardants
Halogen-free flame retardant treatments for textiles and materials.
Plastic Recycling
Bio-catalytic depolymerization of plastics using food-grade compounds.
Water Treatment
Advanced filtration membranes and water purification chemistry.
Agricultural
Sustainable seed coatings and crop protection without synthetic pesticides.
Biomedical
Non-toxic crosslinkers for medical devices and tissue engineering.

5 independent verifications advance each track. Lab costs reimbursed. Earn contribution points and revenue share.
How We Got Here
- science Scientists discover non-toxic molecules can replace heavy metal catalysts
- emoji_events Nobel Discovery validates the field — safe catalysis is transformative science
- factory Major industries adopt bio-based alternatives at scale
- bolt CAGE asks: what if these same safe compounds could replace toxic chemicals in everyday industrial processes?
"We didn't invent the science. We asked a different question."
Share the Upside
CAGE reinvests 20% of all licensing royalties into its research community — half as direct contributor royalties, half funding open science initiatives.
Contributor Royalties
Paid directly to individual contributors
Institutional Match
Matching royalties to affiliated universities & enterprises
Market Size
Total addressable market across 40 tracks
Invest in CAGE
We're raising a small seed round from a close group of Canadian accredited investors. If you believe food-grade chemistry can replace toxic industrial processes at scale, we'd like to talk.
This is not a public offering. Investment is limited to Canadian accredited investors under NI 45-106. No prospectus has been filed.
