Linseed and soybean oil are renewable inputs that can be turned into biobased plastics without competing with our food supply. Recycled monomers and captured CO2 emissions provide lower impact options compared to petrochemical inputs. Thanks to AI, these resources can be optimized for use in a variety of applications.

Our biobased plastics have several advantages

  • Reduced carbon footprint
  • Reduced toxicity
  • Eliminates petrochemicals
  • Eliminates toxic isocyanates
  • Safe for our land and water
  • Tailored end-of-life-options (biodegraded, composted, or recycled)

We’re starting with types of coatings and adhesives for textiles that mimic polyurethane but without the dangerous petrochemicals and isocyanates. We call  ris™ and it’s the next evolution in plastics. Effective, affordable, safe. 

But we won't stop there...
We are creating a Matereal™ World.
