AvoMatter
Sustainable molded pulp from avocado pomace
AvoMatter is a sustainable molded pulp material for packaging and bio-products, made from avocado pomace—a daily agro-industrial by-product. It is designed to offer a bio-based alternative to plastic or virgin fiber paper, helping businesses reduce waste disposal and plastic use. The material is sustainable because it utilizes an abundant waste product as a raw material and supports a circular economy with a low-carbon, low-energy production process.
