Our biodegradable materials are going to help save the planet.

The Mission

We hear the word ‘biodegradable’ a lot.

It sounds complicated, but it’s really very simple. A product that is made from 100% plant-based, biodegradable materials can break down and back into nature without causing any harm.

Biodegradable materials are the most sustainable materials. That’s why we’re making them!

Plastic is an environmental nightmare. Most are built to be so durable that they take centuries to fully biodegrade.

The running shoe that you’re wearing today won’t biodegrade until your

great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandchild exists.

And if we don’t do something about that now, they won’t be very happy.

Why Biodegradation?

Plastic can take more than 450 years to break down. Recycling can be a solution, but it depends on complex systems and often creates additional pollution. Nature already has a better solution.

How it Works

Microbe Power!

Landfills are home to hundreds of microbes. Under the right conditions, they consume our materials and release enzymes that break them down, making it easier for microorganisms to munch on the rest.

Liquidplant

Biodegradation in Action

Liquidplant is on track to fully biodegrade in 3 years.

That’s 150x faster than petroleum-based materials, with no microplastics left behind!

*Testing per ASTM D5511. Results based on 300 micron sheet.
