🌟SPOTLIGHT ON MANGO MATERIALS FOCUSING ON IMPACT: NATURE PRESERVATION & REPAIR 🌍♻️ At Larta Institute, we believe that blending science, technology, and community can offer real solutions to our planet’s biggest challenges. Our focus on Nature Preservation and Repair highlights transformative companies like Mango Materials, which is turning waste methane into biodegradable plastics. Mango Materials is a company leading the bio-industrial revolution by converting waste methane into biodegradable plastics. Traditional plastics contribute to environmental degradation due to their persistence in landfills and oceans, and their reliance on petroleum-based raw materials. Mango Materials has pioneered a process that addresses both issues by utilizing methane—a potent greenhouse gas—as feedstock to produce a new type of biodegradable plastic. CEO Molly Morse explains, “Our mission is to turn waste into eco-friendly, affordable plastics. By using methane gas and bacteria, we produce PHA—a plastic that breaks down in landfills and oceans.” Explore our 2023 Impact Report to see how we’re supporting such impactful innovations: larta.org/impact Sign up for our mailing list: https://lnkd.in/gtcdE6J2 #NaturePreservation #MangoMaterials #SustainableInnovation #EcoFriendly #SDG12
