Mi Terro®

We are hiring new positions, feel free to contact us: Polymer Scientist, Protein Engineer, Marketing & Communication Manager, and more. Mi Terro is a venture-backed synthetic biology and advanced material company that engineers biomass waste into hydrophilic biopolymers to end microplastic through precision fermentation – this is a first-of-its-kind approach. We are excited to see such a significant leap forward in our ability to manipulate nature’s most diverse and abundant building blocks. Our product is patented and USDA Bio-based Certified. Mi Terro uses a selection of biopolymers and natural fibers with the aim to maximize the use of side streams, second-generation (non-food feedstock), and certified biomasses. We are not turning agricultural waste into beverage or snack like other companies. Instead, we use A.I. to re-engineer biopolymers from low-value wastes to replace single-use microplastic and petrochemical textile fiber while giving additional incomes to farmers all around the world. While bio-based, Mi Terro materials do not compete with food production, thereby preventing land-use change. In contrast to conventional (bio)plastics, we do not need any harmful additives, solvents, or chemicals and have up to 90% lower CO2 emissions.
