Scaled by us

VIVOMER is a revolutionary biomaterial crafted through a natural fermentation process using plant waste. It looks, feels and functions exactly like traditional plastic, it just won't create microplastics or persist when you’re done with it.

By-products of existing agriculture and industry are the origin of VIVOMER. As second generation feedstocks, these contain biogenic carbon from the atmosphere.

MICROBIAL FERMENTATION

Using fermentation, naturally occurring microorganisms convert the feedstock into natural polymers in their cells, the same way they’ve done for billions of years.
