agapyo
Combating plastic pollution requires biodegradability!
Agapyo jam™ is a competitive replacement for petroleum-based virgin ABS plastic in consumer products. Our biodegradable and bio-sourced jam™ has comparable ABS properties and can be melted, molded and, at end-of-life, made back into soil.

Technology
Our patented technology enables high-yield conversion from plant-based biomass to jam™ that can then be processed with existing molding machinery. At the end of life, jam™ biodegrades in nature to ensure 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 biomass.
Core technology
Our technology is based on scalable and economic ways of converting our feedstock to an moldable thermoplastic.
End with nature
jam™ biodegrades in nature and won't leave behind any trace of microplastics for future generations.
Product
jam™ is a 100% plant-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 ABS plastic in use today.
