Mango Materials Bio-Polyester

About

Mango Materials' bio-polyester is a biodegradable material derived from methane-eating bacteria, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based polyesters. This innovative material, known as polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), is produced through a fermentation process using waste methane, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a closed-loop system. PHA bio-polyester can be used in various applications, including textile fibers for clothing and activewear, providing similar properties to conventional plastics but with a significantly lower environmental impact. The biodegradability of Mango Materials' PHA bio-polyester addresses the issue of microfiber pollution, as it can degrade in environments where biology is present, including wastewater treatment plants and oceans. This feature supports a more circular fashion system by minimizing waste and pollution. The material is fully customizable and can be compounded into pellets for melt spinning into fibers, making it suitable for a wide range of products. By leveraging methane as a resource, Mango Materials aims to create carbon-negative materials that contribute to a more sustainable future.
