Break it down!

We are aware of some negativity surrounding the topic of biodegradable plastic alternatives in recent times. But like our founder Amalia likes to say: Challenges are what we eat for breakfast!
Although Plaxin wishes to become a profitable company we acknowledge the need to reduce consumption and do not wish to contribute to a status quo in waste produced by single-use packaging.

The crucial factor in our production has been to make sure that the breakdown time of Plaxin is as short as possible. Whereas plastic bottles can take a few centuries to break down, our experiments indicate that the prototype Plaxin water bottles will disappear within nine months. It's important to note that these tests are not only taking place in controlled warm and humid lab environments, but also in the cool Swedish nature at our testing site near Riksgränsan.

Unlike most companies Plaxin celebrates its competition. We want as many plastic alternatives as possible and although we are convinced of Plaxin´s status as an industry forerunner once brought to market, we would like to share our innovative technology with other companies dedicated to taking plastic off the shelves. All of our investors have pledged to put all profit into research and product development once they have seen a return on their investment. We are lucky to be a part of the New Life Ventures portfolio and we´re excited about future collaborations.
