Full Cycle Bioplastics (Accelerator)

Company Description: Full Cycle Bioplastics is leading the global transition to bio-based and compostable materials. Our proprietary technology converts mixed organic wastes, such as inedible food waste, agricultural by-products and dirty paper/cardboard, into a compostable, biodegradable material called polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). Full Cycle PHA can be certified as food contact safe, is tailorable to match existing fossil fuel-based plastic products’ technical specs, and is tunable to end-of-life target. Our PHA is the lowest cost and lowest carbon alternative to fossil fuel-based plastic. With every 100 tons of organic waste Full Cycle diverts from landfill, we prevent 51.7 metric tons of CO2e from being emitted (per the EPA's 2020 WARM calculator). Our technology captures carbon from organic waste at every stage in the process, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and repurposing waste into a high-value material product. At end of life, Full Cycle PHA products can degrade harmlessly into the ecosystem, or ideally, be upcycled once more into virgin PHA resin.
