Agapyo
Combating plastic pollution requires biodegradability.
​
Agapyo's material, Jam™, is a biodegradable alternative to petro-based plastic in rigid agricultural and consumer product applications. Jam™ is bio-based and biodegradable offering performance and durability during use while solving costly and difficult plastic collection and management obstacles.

Technology
Our patented technology enables high-yield conversion from wood-waste into Jam™ that can then be processed with existing molding machinery - no retooling required.
At end-of-life, Jam™ biodegrades in the natural environment to provide cost-savings on expensive plastic management as well as a real solution to the plastic problem.
Cradle-to-Cradle Life Cycle
Agapyo starts with nature and ends with nature
Start with nature
Jam™ is 100% derived from abundant Forestry Stewardship Certified wood-waste material.
Core technology
Our technology is based on scalable and economic ways of converting our feedstock to an moldable thermoplastic that is a drop-in solution for existing industrial manufcaturing infrastructure.
End with nature
Jam™ biodegrades in the natural environment and won't leave behind any trace of microplastics for future generations.
Product
Jam™ is a 100% wood waste-based thermoplastic embodied with cradle-to-cradle design and manufacturing principal. This material is durable during service and degradable in the natural environment.
The properties of Jam™ make it a natural replacement for petroleum-based rigid plastic in use today.
