Mi Terro is a venture-backed advanced material company that engineers agricultural waste into high-quality, low-cost, and scalable biomaterials to end microplastics – this is a first-of-its-kind approach. We are excited to see such a significant leap forward in our ability to manipulate nature’s most diverse and abundant building blocks. Our technologies are patented and are USDA bio-based certified. Mi Terro uses a selection of biopolymers and natural fibers with the aim of maximizing the use of agricultural side streams (non-food feedstock) and certified biomasses. While bio-based, Mi Terro materials do not compete with food production, thereby preventing land-use change. In contrast to conventional (bio)plastics, we do not need any harmful additives, solvents, or chemicals and have up to 80% lower CO2 emissions. Our biomaterials have superior mechanical properties, higher tensile strength, and superior impact resistance. Our biomaterials can be manufactured on existing industry.
