About the company
About 6 billion potatoes are wasted per year. Tato Labs is working to transform potato waste streams into thin films and hard bioplastics. This groundbreaking process aims to minimize potato waste while creating alternatives to conventional acrylics and resins found in beauty product packaging and feminine hygiene items.
By leveraging an abundant and renewable resource, this initiative strives to reduce dependence on petroleum-based plastics, lower environmental impact, sink methane, and foster a sustainable circular economy for agricultural byproducts.
About the solution
Tato Labs is developing scaleable and innovative bioplastic products and packaging solutions that protect and preserve our natural ecosystem while minimizing plastic waste.
