We are not turning agricultural waste into beverage or snack like other companies. Instead, we use A.I. to re-engineer plant-based agricultural waste and replace single-use plastic and paper materials and giving additional incomes to farmers all around the world. Unlike current alternatives to microplastics, which are based on plant polysaccharides, such as cellulose and algae, 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. Our proprietary technology re-engineers agricultural waste into plastic-alternative packaging material. Our biomaterial is monolayer (potentially recyclable), already 20-40% cheaper than other bio-based materials (PLA, PHA, PBAT) at pilot level, home compostable, ocean degradable, heat sealable, excellent water and oxygen barrier, low thickness, and potentially edible. In addition, our technology can be used for both flexible and rigid packaging, sourcing from the same agricultural and industrial waste stream.
