traceless materials (Accelerator)

Company Description: traceless materials is a female-founded circular bioeconomy start-up offering a holistically sustainable alternative to conventional plastics and bioplastics. With our innovative biomaterial solution, we address global plastic pollution. With our innovative patent-pending technology, we for the first time use agricultural industry by-products to produce a holistically sustainable biomaterial that provides the beneficial properties of plastics while being compostable under natural conditions. Even though traceless materials are bio-based, they do not compete with food production, preventing food conflict and land-use change. In contrast to conventional plastics and bioplastic, they don’t need any hazardous chemicals. traceless materials are climate friendly, as their production and disposal causes up to 87% less CO2 emissions compared to virgin plastics. traceless is plastic free, making use of natural polymers and does not fall under eg. the EU Plastics Directive. Already competitive in quality to conventional plastics and bioplastics, on industrial production scale the materials will be price competitive to virgin plastics. traceless is applicable to a wide variety of products - from rigid and flexible packaging to disposables and coating & adhesive solutions.
