Unlike current alternatives to microplastics, which are based on plant polysaccharides, Mi Terro’s plant protein materials do not rely on chemical cross-linking for their performance. This enables them to decompose quickly and completely in the natural environment.

The proprietary technology converts agricultural waste into plastic-alternative packaging film. The film is 3 to 4 times cheaper than other bio-based materials, is home compostable, ocean degradable, heat sealable with low thickness and an excellent water and oxygen barrier.
