Kumu (Accelerator)

Company Description: Kumu is a material innovation company focused on using biomaterials from food, plants, and minerals to make single-use plastic alternatives. Our patent-pending process covers these sustainable bioproducts and how to recycle them. Why waste food? Therefore, let's make it circular! Just like plastic is not one type fits all, we designed our formulations such that the "last mile" customizations can be made with our commercialization partners. You know your clients best. And so, we do our best to meet your aesthetic and functional requirements. We also value transparency. No more greenwashing or fancy words. Is it bio-based, biodegradable, home compostable, soil enriching, or marine degradable? As consumers ourselves, we want to disclose all the biomaterials we use in our products, much like a food label, and allow the consumers to decide for themselves.
