They are starting by building beautiful packaging solutions for the personal care industry that are petroleum-free, microplastic-free, shelf-stable and home-compostable - all enabled by their proprietary innovative biotechnology process. At the end of its useful life,

once disposed of, it will fully break down in any environment, leaving behind zero microplastics.
