We are leading the bio-industrial revolution by converting abundant potato waste into biodegradable materials.
Tato Labs’ core technology involves the production of a naturally occurring biopolymer from wasted potatoes. This is how our process works:
Our evolving portfolio of materials come from a regenerative resource and decompose into healthy soil.
✓ Made responsibly
✓ Nontoxic & GMO-free
✓ Home & industrially compostable
✓ Supports healthy ecosystems, soil, & communities
Traditional plastics have been around for more than a century, during which time they’ve become perfectly optimized and heavily subsidized. This industry is primarily fueled by petroleum-based pellets that are melted and formed into finished products through global manufacturing. It’s a huge challenge to shift away from a well-oiled system. And also a huge opportunity.
We’re still early on in the industrialization process of our material. But we’re optimistic that the biomaterials revolution is going to change the world.
Our material is biodegradable
Our products take 2-3 weeks in a backyard compost to biodegrade.
