Say no to microplastics, let's normalize bioplastics

Say no to microplastics, let's normalize bioplastics

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.
