From Family Legacy to Global Stage
Sep 18, 2025
What an incredible night!
We were absolutely thrilled and deeply honored to announce that EvoNatura was named a Northeast Regional Winner at the 2025 Cleantech Open Regional Finals in Brooklyn, NY. As if that weren't enough, we were also overwhelmed by the support of the ecosystem and walked away with the People’s Choice Award!
This achievement is more than just a cash prize and a title; it’s a validation of the past year of intense work and, most importantly, our core mission.
The Mission Continues
It started in 2002, when L.P. Naithani pushed for a regional plastic ban. Our goal since then has been simple: plastics should not stay forever. Our microbe-based additive makes compostable plastics degrade naturally, without the need for complex systems or industrial sites.
The recognition from the Cleantech Open Northeast Finals strongly affirms the scientific foundation of our approach and significantly boosts our confidence to continue moving to meet this urgent global need.
Thank You, Cleantech Community
The People’s Choice Award, however, truly touched our entire team. That award comes directly from the hundreds of entrepreneurs, mentors, volunteers, and supporters who gathered to celebrate innovation. To know that our mission and our approach to solving plastic waste resonated so strongly with this dedicated climate community means the world.
The last few months within the Cleantech Open accelerator have been transformative. The structure, the connections, and the mentorship we received prepared us not only to pitch on stage but, more importantly, to scale our company effectively.
