A Material Difference: Leveraging Biodesign for Better Plastic

​A Material Difference — panel and discussion on biodesign by frog, Sway, Cruz Foam, and Mango Materials.

Join us for an enlightening panel discussion on the future of sustainable materials as we explore the innovative use of bio-based alternatives to replace traditional plastics. From seaweed-derived materials and upcycled starch to bacteria-engineered polymers, this conversation will showcase the cutting-edge advancements in biodesign that are transforming industries and helping reduce our reliance on harmful plastics. Learn how these breakthrough materials offer eco-friendly, scalable solutions for a more sustainable and circular economy.

Sway is scaling compostable solutions for plastic, made with a regenerative resource: seaweed.

Cruz Foam uses upcycled starch to create eco-friendly, biodegradable alternatives to styrofoam.

Mango Materials invented a proprietary platform that delivers optimally-formulated biodegradable PHA pellets that incorporate into any supply chain.

frog is a global innovation design consultancy. We help companies build what should exist in the world.
