Everybody in the Pool E58: A cookbook for making plastics, textiles, and other materials from nature
We talk to a lot of startups, but this week’s guest is a platform for inspiring and supporting a whole bunch of startups! Alysia Garmulewicz, co-founder and co-CEO of Materiom, discusses the importance of developing regenerative biomaterials as alternatives to petroleum plastics. Materiom offers an open database of biomaterial recipes, providing entrepreneurs and innovators with the information they need to create new materials. They also integrate generative AI into their platform to help startups optimize their biomaterial formulations and shorten the R&D cycle. The goal is to replace materials in sectors like packaging and textiles, with a focus on fast-moving consumer goods.
