Methane based biodegradable bio plastics for synthetic fibre replacement
Mango Materials focuses on the production of PHAs from methane and biopolymer formulation. Typically, plastic pellets (also known as chips) are melted down to make something — film for plastic bags, or fiber for yoga pants, for example. At Mango, biodegradable PHA serves as the backbone for an alternative plastic pellet, which is optimized for biodegradability while preserving optimal mechanical characteristics.

Biodegradable plastics from waste biogas
Biodegradable plastics produced using excess methane of wastewater treatment plants
Highlights and sustainability benefits The products naturally biodegrade back to methane, thus creating a circular system. Use of biodegradable plastics significantly reduce the need for fossil based plastics in textiles, thus protecting the environment from the impacts of their production and disposal.
RecognitionIn 2019, Mango Materials was named one of the Next 50 Companies to Disrupt the World by Biofuels Digest The company is also listed on the Global Cleantech 100.
