About Us
Welcome to EvoNatura, where sustainability meets innovation.
Our journey began in a home biotech lab, where our team started experimenting with ways to upcycle food waste into something transformative. With our roots in the Ocean State, we have grown into a startup dedicated to reshaping the future of plastics.
EvoNatura is pioneering biodegradable bioplastics made from upcycled food waste. Our mission is to replace single-use plastics in the agrifood sector with environmentally safe alternatives that degrade naturally, leaving no trace behind.
We take pride in collaborating with local farmers, organizations, and universities across Rhode Island to bring this vision to life.
Our vision extends beyond reducing waste—we aim to create materials that actively contribute to healthier ecosystems. We offer a circular solution that supports the environment, empowers communities, and helps businesses embrace sustainable practices.
