Windfall Bio’s Partnership with Amazon’s Climate Pledge Fund and Whole Foods Market Highlighted in Annual Sustainability and Impact Reports

• Collaboration paves the way for a more efficient and sustainable agriculture industry
• In addition to the partnership with Amazon’s Climate Pledge Fund, Windfall Bio was recently selected as a fellow in the 2025 cohort of the Compute for Climate Fellowship – a global program launched by the International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence (IRCAI) and Amazon Web Services (AWS)

SAN MATEO, Calif., July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — This month, Amazon and Whole Foods Market released their annual sustainability and impact reports, providing an in-depth look at their ongoing commitment and efforts to nourish people and the planet. In both reports, Windfall Bio was recognized for its nature-based solution harnessing mems to transform methane into high-value organic fertilizer. Mems are natural soil microbes that consume methane directly from a variety of gas streams. This approach enables customers from various industries to operate more efficiently and profitably, while also reducing their overall carbon footprint, as methane has over 86x greater warming potential compared to carbon dioxide over a 20-year window.

As highlighted in both reports, Windfall recently piloted its methane transformation technology on two dairy farms of Whole Foods Market suppliers, Straus Family Creamery and Darigold. During the pilots, Windfall’s bioreactor was placed next to a manure lagoon for the mems to consume methane and transform it into nitrogen-rich biomass fertilizer. The successful pilot results establish a pathway for major food retailers and their suppliers to reduce Scope 3 emissions while realizing an economic return from organic fertilizer production.

Through an innovative collaboration, Whole Foods Market connected Windfall with these key dairy suppliers and helped facilitate the pilot projects through Windfall’s partnership with Amazon’s Climate Pledge Fund. Catalyzing the company’s path to commercialization, Windfall previously received funding from The Climate Pledge Fund, some of which was used to develop the infrastructure deployed in these pilot projects.

“Our collaboration with Amazon’s Climate Pledge Fund and Whole Foods Market showcases a powerful model for CPG companies, major food retailers and their suppliers to transform wasted methane emissions into valuable resources while establishing more resilient supply chains,” said Josh Silverman, co-founder and CEO of Windfall Bio. “We are both excited and humbled by the recognition in the sustainability reports from our innovative partners, and we look forward to continuing to expand our impact with future deployments.”

Additionally, Windfall was recently selected as a fellow in the 2025 cohort of the Compute for Climate Fellowship, a global program launched by the International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence (IRCAI) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) that provides startups with the tools and advanced computing services to rapidly scale.
