Materiom
Imagine a world where plastic is plant food. A world where the plastic juice bottle you toss into the bin has a life ahead of it that you might never have imagined. Made from compostable bioplastic, it can fertilise nutrient-starved soils and help drawdown carbon. If it lands up in the ocean, it degrades into food for fish. Rather than another piece of pollution, it is a bundle of nutrients. Abundant biomass - unavoidable food waste, regeneratively farmed seaweed and mycelium - feeds this new materials economy which generates sustainable alternatives to plastics, textiles, and other FMCGs. This type of regenerative economy can enrich communities around the globe and incentivise net-positive value chains. Materiom - growing the regenerative materials economy
