100% Home Compostable
Composting is nature’s way of recycling. It is one of the most powerful actions we can take to reduce our trash, address climate change, and build healthy soil. PlantSwitch resin achieved 100% disintegration in just under 10 weeks when tested by Normec Group.

We make switching from plastic to plants an obvious decision

Truly Sustainable

Our home compostable resin will fully break down in backyard compost in less than 12 months, leaving zero microplastics behind

Giving waste a second life - the agricultural residues we upcycle are byproducts of food production, we add value to them while solving a waste problem for agricultural producers

High Performance

Our resins feel and function like plastic, without the guilt

Works with existing plastic machinery

Our resins are “drop-in” replacements, plastics manufacturers can use their existing machines and processes with negligible switching costs

Low-cost

By upcycling agricultural waste streams, our raw material costs are minimal, enabling us to be the lowest cost plastic alternative on the market

How it works

Our truly circular process starts at the farm and ends back at the farm. We turn agricultural residues into compostable plastic pellets, our manufacturing partners use those pellets to make compostable products, then that product is used and disposed into compost that goes back to the farmer.

1

Agricultural Residues

We use leftovers of major food production, such as rice hulls, wheat straw, and more. These leftovers currently have little to no value, so our process gives them a very important second life.

2

Biopolymer Production

Our proprietary technology converts these feedstocks into a biopolymer resin. Our resin can be used to make the majority of plastic products.

3

Finished Products

Our resin is a drop-in solution with existing plastic machinery, allowing plastic manufacturers to seamlessly switch to our plant-based material.

4

Composting

Once the product has been used, it can be disposed of in your backyard or home compost, where it will break down in just a few months. That compost can then be used to grow more of these wonderful materials.
