Pack2Earth, founded in January 2022 in Barcelona, develops biobased materials that compost at ambient temperature and are suitable for packaging products ranging from dry goods to liquids with long shelf lives (6–12 months depending on product). The company has two PCT patent applications for a flexible film and an injection-mouldable material that seal together and can be produced on existing plastic manufacturing equipment. Its materials are described as high-barrier to gases and generate a compost free of toxic substances and microplastics at end of life. Pack2Earth is running pilots with about 25 companies, including food groups such as Vicky Foods and Angulas Aguinaga, and pet-food brands like Platinum and Dingonatura. The team comprises eight people, and the company plans to license materials, protect its intellectual property, and scale commercial deployments. Pack2Earth aims to replace fossil-based and other contaminating plastics across packaging and molded articles while enabling rapid adoption via compatibility with current machinery.
