High performance products that are actually good for the planet.
When we set out to make a viable alternative to traditional and degradable plastic, we had two goals:
Bringing valuable nutrients back to Earth.
Matter products are nontoxic and, if composted properly, return natural, plant-based nutrients back into the earth as they compost in 12 months or less, producing nutrient-rich soil.
The Differences that Matter
Comparing our products to the status quo.
1 year vs. Many
Matter products break down and enrich
the soil faster than most alternatives.
In some cases, up to 1,000 times faster.

Performance Matters
Matter's plant-based biopolymer and fiber products are high-performing replacements for traditional plastic. Our biopolymer bags are strong, durable, and resist tearing. And our fiber items are leak-resistant and microwave safe.
Enhance, not endanger
Matter's plant-based biopolymer products return valuable nutrients back to the soil, when composted properly, and Matter's nontoxic products provide a safe alternative for your food and the planet.

Plates & Bowls
Matter biofibers are engineered to maintain their integrity and resist leaks even with hot, greasy foods or standing liquids. Our high-performing tableware provides the strength you expect without the risk of spreading harmful chemicals into the environment.
Eco-Smart Production
Using less power,
for more impact.
