Materiom

Materiom is a materials discovery organisation working to replace petrochemical plastics with natural, regenerative alternatives. Its open-access Materiom Commons platform gives designers, scientists and start-ups shared data on bio-based materials, and the organisation reports a community of more than 25,000 innovators across 100 countries.

The organisation pairs an applied research team with AI models and an autonomous laboratory, generating experimental data to speed up development of materials for packaging, textiles, durable goods and the built environment. It works with innovators, start-ups, manufacturers and brands, and frames the goal as a materials economy that regenerates nature and supports human health instead of undermining it.
