WHAT IS IT?
Mango materials produce polyesters, specifically PHA. Their material is biodegradable in the ocean environment and can be delivered in the form of pellets so that customers can transform it into products that fit their needs.
HOW IS IT MADE?
The pellets can be transformed using injection molding or 3D printing. However, they also produce spun fibers and firm-grade PHA pellets.
USE CASES
Films, sheets, spun fibers, packaging (caps, jars, bottles)
