Mission & Vision

The problem was never single-use.

The problem was the rules it had to play by: decades of convenience, followed by centuries of waste.

That rulebook is over.
We’ve written a new one:
  • Where single-use doesn’t mean forever.
  • Where materials return safely to humus, water, and CO₂, in weeks, not centuries.
  • Where convenience finally works for both people and planet.

Our mission: to lead the global shift toward products made of materials that disappear without a trace.

Our vision: redefine disposables as part of the solution, not the problem.

Because there is no second planet.

The next wave of sustainable consumer products will come from brands that make eco-friendly choices easier than disposable ones. Directing consumer spending towards home-compostable products is a strategic move that not only promotes environmental responsibility but also taps into growing demand for sustainable alternatives, creating better outcomes for both planet and profit.

Technology

Innovation, that scales.

Our edge isn’t theory, it’s execution. We partner with pioneers who rewrite what’s possible.

traceless®: A Biomaterial Revolution.

Based on Natural Polymers

Made from agricultural residues like grain by-products. Unlike bioplastics, traceless® uses unmodified natural polymers that nature already knows how to break down, no industrial composting needed.

Home-Compostable in 2-9 Weeks

Certified (NF T 51-800) to break down in your backyard compost. Natural microorganisms easily digest the material, turning it into water, humus, and CO₂ within weeks. Based on the life cycle assessment of the traceless® base material.

Up to 95% Lower Emissions

LCA-verified: 76% lower lifecycle emissions, 95% reduction in production and disposal compared to virgin plastics. Made from renewable, non-fossil raw materials. Based on the life cycle assessment of the traceless® base material.

Industrial-Scale Ready

Compatible with standard injection molding and extrusion. Scalable, cost-competitive, and ready for mass production, plastic-like performance without the plastic.

Together, we scale science into global impact.
traceless® material is the revolution at the core: plastic-free, PFAS-free, home-compostable.

Our Approach

The Disposables Crisis

The numbers don’t lie. The old rulebook failed.

8M

tons per year
Plastic waste drowning our oceans
500

For “biodegradable” PLA to break down (if ever)
40B
pieces annually
Plastic cutlery used once, polluting forever

The market offers too many false solutions: PLA requires industrial composting at 60°C+. Bamboo often contains hidden plastic coatings. “Biodegradable” is frequently an empty buzzword without standardized meaning. Consumers need transparent alternatives. Businesses seek reliable solutions.
