Description

The company's innovative biotechnology platform uses natural microbes to produce environmentally friendly bioplastics that are 100% compostable and ideal for 3D printing and food packaging. Unlike conventional plastics, Saphium's bioplastics degrade within 60 days without leaving any harmful residue and even act as a fertilizer. In addition to creating bioplastics, Saphium also develops microorganisms that increase crop yields and resistance to disease, as well as prevent leaching of nitrates. The company is dedicated to using nature-inspired solutions to optimize biological processes for ecological and economic benefits.
