Sorry. No fussball games in the office.
But we make the world to a better place by making something about fossil plastics.
Just like plastic. Is not. Imagine a material that can be used like plastic. Works like plastic. Looks like plastic. But that is beyond plastic. Does not leave any microplastics. One that decomposes and results in 80% less CO2 emissions. We have developed and make that material. It’s called Biodolomer.
GAIA Biomaterials manufacture Biodolomer. A material that has most of the qualities of plastic – but not the disadvantages.
You can use it for bags, jars, golf pegs, fishing nets, bottles, food trays, coffee cups – you name it. Just like plastic.
But unlike plastic, Biodolomer has a limited life span. And after a while (we can set that time in the manufacturing process) it decomposes. Just as if it was a carrot or a leaf.
Why did you choose to work at GAIA BioMaterials?
I had sold another business and was looking for something new to work on. I then met the founder of GAIA and realized quite immediately that I want to become a partner in this and be part of building it up.
What is the future vision?
That GAIA will become a really powerful alternative to the fossil plastics and to establish the company on several continents. That we build another factory is a matter of course.
What does GAIA BioMaterials do for the well-being of its employees?
Like many others, GAIA has staff activities, wellness allowances and coffee breaks. But, what we do above all to create well-being is to build a nice family atmosphere where we help each other.
What are the main advantages of working at GAIA BioMaterials?
You are involved in building something that will be big and you get the chance to develop in step with the company together with fantastic colleagues.
What makes GAIA BioMaterials an attractive and modern workplace?
Short decision-making paths, great participation in the processes for our employees and flexibility in how we work. We are helped to realize the possibilities and we usually jokingly say that we make world-class products - it's true.
What are important qualities to enjoy this service?
Collaborative, constructive, innovative, structured.

The future vision is to be at the forefront of environmentally friendly materials, with R&D in Helsingborg and production facilities globally.

As an employee at GAIA BioMaterials, you are offered freedom under responsibility, flexible working hours and respectful communication. To thrive in the position as an application engineer, you need to be curious, responsive, social and goal-oriented.
Tobias Wilbs, Finance Manager
I have worked at GAIA BioMaterials since October 2023. What attracted me was, among other things, the opportunity to work in a small company where everyone has a big impact on the bottom line and that GAIA has a big role to play in a more sustainable world. The career opportunities that a growth journey provides are also inspiring.
There is a constant drive forward and things happen at the pace you, as an employee, can influence in many ways. The atmosphere in my team is great, simple and straight forward. At GAIA, we build something step by step. All processes and approaches are not set, but here every employee has great opportunities to influence, which is very stimulating.
