Mi Terro is the world’s first advanced material company that partners with food companies and farmers to create home compostable, single-use plastic-alternative packaging materials made from plant-based agricultural waste – this is a first-of-its-kind approach. Their technology can potentially apply to any type of agricultural waste, including plant, dairy, and vitamin supplement byproducts. While bio-based, Mi Terro materials do not compete with food production, thereby preventing land-use-change.
