Notpla’s regenerative packaging, made from seaweed and plants, offers a unique, scalable solution to replace single-use plastics without releasing harmful chemicals. The Notpla’s packaging can be disposed of in three ways: 100% recyclable, home-compostable, or industrially compostable. Notpla’s packaging technology is manufactured with components from seaweed and plants, creating biodegradable materials that mimic certain properties of plastic but then break down naturally.

EcoCocon has developed an alternative wall panel system that is 89% straw and 10% timber. The company combines straw construction with modern technology to improve performance and achieve exceptional insulation. EcoCocon’s goal is to use as little as possible to protect forests from over-exploitation. The wood is derived from sustainable forestry, and the straw is sourced from local farms. These materials contain no glues and do not undergo any chemical treatment throughout the construction process. The walls are custom-made to fit any building design.

Blueland sustainably manufactures and ships cleaning products using environmentally responsible ingredients that are recyclable, compostable, or both. The process begins with Blueland’s BPA- and antimony-free Forever Bottle, Forever Shaker, and Forever Tin. The final product results from adding the powdered or tablet soaps, cleansers, and detergents to warm or hot water in their respective containers. This method eliminates the use of single-use plastics like polyvinyl alcohol (PVA and PVOH polyvinyl) by enabling the shipping of lighter, water-free products.

Low-cost alternative to conventional petroleum-derived insulation developed by Thermulon. The process uses silica-based aerogels that are lightweight, possess exceptional thermal insulation properties, and feature inorganic backbones that limit combustibility, making them safer for use in high-temperature environments. Their versatility allows them to be used in a variety of applications, including insulating batts, panels, and other products.

Plant-based materials developed by Natural Fiber Welding (NFW) that eliminates the use of synthetic toxins or plastics at any stage of manufacturing. Natural ingredients such as natural rubber, recycled cotton, recycled Mirum®, hemp, coconut husks, structural colorant, and cork are shaped and molded at the molecular level previously only achieved with synthetic materials to create products for fashion, footwear, accessories, and automotive industries. NFW currently offers four bio-based, low-carbon materials.

Designs high-performance materials and ingredients that are fully renewable and bio-based. WING® platform enables biology and design labs to develop, test, and commercialize products to reduce global dependence on fossil fuels and other unsustainable oil sources. Checkerspot, the developer of the WING® platform, offers products that integrate molecular foundry, chemistry, material science, and fabrication technology to develop polyurethanes and textile finish materials derived by fermentation of biobased oils, enabling industries to access materials at a molecular level. 

Water-based systems wood adhesives formulated with natural soy flour and a proprietary crosslinking resin. Soyad adhesive technology is a patented, bio-based, formaldehyde-free adhesive system developed by the modification of amino acids of soy proteins, resulting in environmentally friendly hardwood plywood and engineering wood flooring. The soy flour and resin blend forms a durable, water-resistant thermoset adhesive similar to the strength and performance of urea-formaldehyde-based adhesives.
