What We Do
Mango Materials' technology uses waste biogas (methane) to produce poly-hydroxyalkanoate (PHA) powder, a valuable biopolymer that is converted into a variety of eco-friendly, plastic products such as cosmetic packaging and a polyester replacement for textiles. Due to a rising preference for green products, demand for biodegradable and non petroleum-based plastics is growing rapidly. Our climate positive technology transforms greenhouse gas emissions into a biodegradable material for fashion and products, making a plastic substitute that is better than conventional plastics.
