Hello, hello!
Here’s a riddle - What do Methane and Mangoes have in common? We’ll have to ask Molly Morse and find out!
CEO and co-founder of Mango Materials, Molly is working to produce biodegradable plastics (PHA) made from waste biogas that are economically competitive with conventional oil-based plastics.
Her journey from a civil engineer to doing her PhD in bio-based materials is inspiring to say the least! It also set her up to become an entrepreneur and work towards changing the regenerative packaging landscape.
A women-led company, Molly along with Allison Pieja Anne Schauer-Gimenez, started Mango Materials to turn their academic research into a reality.
Mango Materials, named after their favorite fruit, has developed a way to turn methane gas into a form of biodegradable plastics as a pellet!
Tune in to find out how they take this green gas and turn it into PHA pellets that are now being used in injection mouldings, fibres and food packaging!
