We have an audacious goal— advance the science and scaling of a new material world, beyond plastics.

Fossil-derived materials and products are fundamentally undermining our health, our ecosystems – our ability to sustain life on earth. What if materials like plastics were healthy instead of harmful for the world around us?

The next generation of materials is waste-free and regenerative by design.

Who we are

Our vision is a world where materials regenerate nature and support human health.

Materiom is founded on a nature-inspired vision of the future – one where materials are made from abundant natural ingredients that are used, broken down, and used again.

Our goal is to accelerate the discovery of regenerative, natural materials that displace petrochemical plastics as the new normal — from the packaging in our grocery stores, to the clothing we wear, to the insulation in our homes.

What we do

Materiom’s mission is to accelerate the research, development, and uptake of materials that have a net-positive impact on the planet.

We generate data and build AI models to speed up bio-based materials development and replace toxic plastics. Our platform gives thousands of materials designers open data and AI-driven research support. For start-ups, manufacturers and brands ready to scale, we support accelerated discovery of materials most likely to reach the market.
