Mi Terro® engineers agricultural residuals—such as milk proteins, beer spent grains, plant fibers, and paper by‑products—into bio-based polymer films and coatings. Their proprietary protein-based materials form water-soluble, home‑compostable, and ocean‑degradable membranes suitable for flexible and rigid packaging, detergent pods, textile fibers, and barrier coatings in paperboard. These biomaterials eliminate the need for harmful additives or solvents and can be processed on conventional industry machines.

Compared to other bio-based films (PLA, PHA, PBAT), Mi Terro® materials are 10–40% cheaper and deliver strong water and oxygen barrier performance while maintaining low thickness. They catalyze a circular economy: converting agricultural waste into high-value packaging that returns to nature after use, reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 90% compared to fossil-based plastics. The tech is demonstrated in pilot films and is entering scaled production in partnerships with corporations globally, aiming to turn food-industry by-products into sustainable packaging solutions that eliminate microplastics and support farmers with new revenue.
