Mango Materials is developing a process to convert methane from waste (e.g. biogas at a wastewater plant) into the biodegradable polymer PHA at scale, aiming for a distributed manufacturing model to rival petroleum plastics.

One of the 17 BioMADE-funded projects will scale up Mango Materials’ gas fermentation process to convert methane into biodegradable PHA polymers, enabling decentralized biomaterials manufacturing.

There’s no place like home and for Mango Materials, that is the City of Vacaville which recently approved a long term lease and biogas purchase agreement to support Mango Materials commercial scale up.

Mango Materials collaborates with Berkeley Lab ABPDU to optimize our process and test out industrial-scale relevant equipment.
