Mi Terro Company
Mi Terro is a technology company that specializes in engineering biomass waste to combat the issue of microplastics. They have developed a bio-based, water-degradable, and home compostable material that serves as a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic. This innovative biomaterial is USDA Bio-based Certified, ensuring that it does not contribute to the problem of microplastic pollution in the environment.
Mi Terro's technology allows them to upcycle plant leftovers from food production and paper-making processes, transforming them into replacements for microplastics in various applications such as paper packaging, home care products, and more. Their solution is the first scalable bio-based replacement for polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), eliminating the need for fossil fuel-derived materials in everyday products like detergent, laundry pods, paper takeaway boxes, and textiles.
By valorizing second-generation biomass wastes, Mi Terro also aims to avoid conflicts related to food and land use. Their commitment to sustainability and environmental preservation makes them a leader in the fight against microplastics.
