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 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 - no retooling required. At end-of-life, jam™ biodegrades in your garden 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 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 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% 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.
