It’s Not Plastic, It’s PlantSwitch

We make switching from plastic to plants an obvious decision
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
Our resins feel and function like plastic, without the guilt
Our resins are “drop-in” replacements, plastics manufacturers can use their existing machines and processes with negligible switching costs
By upcycling agricultural waste streams, our raw material costs are minimal, enabling us to be the lowest cost plastic alternative on the market

Process
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.
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.
Biopolymer Production
Our proprietary technology converts these feedstocks into a biopolymer resin. Our resin can be used to make the majority of plastic products.
Finished Products
Our resin is a drop-in solution with existing plastic machinery, allowing plastic manufacturers to seamlessly switch to our plant-based material.
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.
